The FIFA World Cup 2026 has kicked off with the inaugural ceremony. Here is a list of channels where you can watch the tournament live.
Free official options
UK BBC iPlayer and ITVX (all matches shared between BBC and ITV)
Australia SBS and SBS On Demand (free)
Ireland RTÉ Player (selected coverage)
Belgium RTBF and VRT
Brazil CazéTV and selected free broadcasters
In the United States
Most matches are on FOX and FS1, while Spanish-language coverage is on Telemundo. Some matches are available free through Tubi, and several streaming services offer free trials that can be used to watch matches legally.
Avoid unofficial streams
Many websites claiming to offer “free World Cup streams” are unreliable, may disappear during matches, contain malware, or violate copyright laws. Official free-to-air broadcasters are the safest option.
Where to watch in Pakistan
Streaming Platform: Tapmad — live streaming of all World Cup matches.
Television Coverage: Reports circulating on media and social platforms indicate that PTV Sports and Tamasha are also carrying World Cup coverage in Pakistan.
