FOX holds the English-language rights to the FIFA World Cup 2026 in the United States, and the tournament's official English-language streaming platform, FOX One, is right on your Roku. It carries all 104 matches live and on demand in 4K for $19.99 per month or $199.99 per year, and pay-TV subscribers can sign in with their TV Provider login and use FOX One at no extra cost. Eligible Roku customers also get a 3-day free trial when they subscribe through The Roku Channel's Premium Subscriptions.
The cheapest legal route, though, is completely free. Tubi carried the opening ceremonies and the Mexico vs South Africa opener live in 4K on June 11, streams USA vs Paraguay free on Friday, June 12, and posts free replays shortly after the final whistle. The Telemundo app also streams the tournament's first three days in Spanish with no login necessary. Here is every legitimate option, what it costs, and how to set it all up before kickoff.
FOX One Carries All 104 Matches in English
Every one of the tournament's 104 matches airs in English in the US across FOX (70 matches) and FS1 (34 matches), and every match streams live and on demand inside FOX One's World Cup viewing experience. Each match is also presented in 4K on FOX One.
FOX One launched on August 21, 2025 at $19.99 per month or $199.99 annually, with a FOX One + FOX Nation bundle at $24.99 per month (the equivalent of $19.99 per month on the annual plan). The service includes FOX Sports, FS1, FS2, FOX Deportes, FOX local stations, the FOX Network, FOX News Channel, FOX Business, FOX Weather and B1G.
On Roku, you can subscribe through The Roku Channel's Premium Subscriptions at $19.99 per month, where eligible customers get a 3-day free trial. The app has been in the Roku store since August 21, and inside it you can create an account or sign in with a TV provider. Check firmware before match day, since FOX One needs Roku OS 11.0 or later.
The Old FOX Sports App Is Gone From Connected TVs
Do not waste time hunting for the FOX Sports app in the Roku store. As of May 7, 2026, the FOX Sports App is no longer available on TVs and connected devices, including Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, Android TV and Google TV, Samsung, LG, Vizio and Xbox. FOX One is its replacement on all of those platforms, while the FOX Sports App lives on for phones and tablets only.
Tubi Streams the Opener and the USA Match Free in 4K
Tubi is the genuinely free option, and it is fully legal. The service simulcast the opening ceremonies live in 4K at no cost and carried the complete Mexico vs South Africa opener on Thursday, June 11, with kickoff at 3:00 PM ET and pregame coverage from 1:00 PM ET. The second free match is USA vs Paraguay on Friday, June 12, kicking off at 9:00 PM ET.
You need a free Tubi account to stream the matches live, so register and sign in before kickoff. If you miss a match, on-demand replays go up within 1 to 2 hours after the final whistle, and replays do not require an account at all, so the opener is there to rewatch free. Tubi's FIFA World Cup FOX Hub, live since May 10, is the app's dedicated landing spot for tournament coverage.
Peacock Is the Spanish-Language Streaming Home
Peacock streams Telemundo's Spanish-language coverage of all 104 matches live for Premium and Premium Plus subscribers. On Peacock's official plans page, Select runs $7.99 per month or $79.99 per year, Premium costs $10.99 per month or $109.99 per year, and Premium Plus is $16.99 per month or $169.99 per year; Premium includes ads, while Premium Plus is ad-free with limited exclusions.
The first eight group-stage matches, played June 11 to 13, are also open to the cheaper Select tier. Peacock streams the entire tournament in Dolby Atmos with Dolby AC-4 on Dolby-enabled devices, offers Dolby Vision HDR on supported devices, and supports Multiview for select matches.
There are two free Spanish-language routes as well. The Telemundo app streams the live matches from the tournament's first three days, June 11 to 13, free with no login necessary, and a Telemundo app is listed in the Roku channel store, though the free window is described for the app generally, not device by device. Telemundo airs 92 matches free over the air, and the cable channel Universo carries the other 12, covering all 104 between them.
Fubo and YouTube TV Put the FOX Channels on Your Roku
If you would rather watch through a live TV service, Fubo has a Roku app and carries FOX and FS1, which together show every one of the 104 matches in English. The Fubo Sports plan costs $45.99 for your first month and $55.99 per month thereafter, the Fubo Pro plan renews at $73.99 per month after a discounted first month, and each comes with a 5-day free trial for new subscribers.
Spanish speakers can go much cheaper with Fubo Latino at $9.99 for the first month and $19.99 per month after that. It carries Spanish-only World Cup coverage and gets the same 5-day free trial.
YouTube TV's main plan costs $82.99 per month for one membership with up to 6 household members, and its lineup of 100+ channels includes the FOX Network and FS1. The YouTube TV Sports Plan is promoted at $54.99 per month for the first 12 months, then $64.99 per month, and its lineup includes FOX Network and FS1. New users may be eligible for a free trial.
Adding and Activating Everything on Your Roku
Whichever service you pick, installation works the same way, and FOX One adds one extra activation step.
- 1.Install the app from the Streaming Store. Press Home on your Roku remote, open the Streaming Store, search for FOX One (or Tubi, Peacock TV, Telemundo, Fubo or YouTube TV), and select Add app. You can also add apps from channelstore.roku.com or the Roku mobile app; anything you add installs to your Roku account and appears on all linked devices.
- 2.Sign in or subscribe inside FOX One. Use your TV Provider login if you have a pay-TV subscription, or subscribe for $19.99 per month or $199.99 per year, either directly or through The Roku Channel's Premium Subscriptions with the 3-day trial for eligible customers.
- 3.Activate FOX One if prompted. Device activation is handled at auth.fox.com/manage/foxone/activate, and FOX also runs a second-screen activation portal at go.fox.com.
- 4.Verify your 4K chain. Every match is in 4K on FOX One, but to stream it in Ultra HD you need a 4K-compatible Roku player and a 4K UHD or HDR-capable TV, with every connected device in the chain, including any receiver, supporting HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2.
- 5.Fix a stream that will not load. Close and reopen the app, restart the Roku from the Settings menu, and confirm the device is up to date, since FOX One requires Roku OS 11.0 or later.
