Where the tournament stands this week

Sunday, July 12 is an off‑day in the 2026 World Cup, giving fans a brief pause before the next round of action. With no matches scheduled, the focus shifts to the upcoming fixtures later in the week. This break lets broadcasters air special coverage and gives viewers time to set up their watching options. The schedule shows the tournament is gaining momentum after the early‑June kickoff.

Broadcast details for every language

All 104 matches of the tournament will air in English exclusively on FOX, FS1, and the FOX One app. For viewers who prefer Spanish, every game can be found on Telemundo and on the streaming platform Peacock. If you lack a cable or streaming subscription, a simple HD digital antenna lets you pick up FOX for free. This multi‑platform approach ensures the competition reaches the widest possible audience across North America.

Streaming services with trial options

Those trials let new users watch key matches without committing to a paid plan right away. The availability of multiple streaming routes adds flexibility for fans who want to switch devices or carriers.
