YouTube TV<\/p>\n

YouTube TV gets you all the channels you need to watch the 2026 World Cup, including Fox, FS1, Universo, and Telemundo.<\/p>\n

Right now, you can get a great deal on YouTube TV right now: $67.99\/month for your first five months, then $82.99\/month thereafter, and you can try it all for free for 10 days.<\/p>\n

One thing to note: YouTube TV livestreams tend to run a slight delay, which isn’t ideal if you’re trying to keep up with the live game down to the exact second.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Image<\/a><\/p>\n

DirecTV<\/p>\n

DirecTV’s Entertainment tier (currently $59.99 for your first month, then $89.99 thereafter) gets you access to nearly every channel you need to watch the World Cup: Fox, FS1 and Telemundo. DirecTV Entertainment also comes with free ESPN Unlimited, which gets you access to every ESPN channel, an amazing value and a must for watching tons of sports all year round.\u00a0<\/p>\n

DirecTV offers a free 5-day trial on any tier, so you can try it all out at low risk. After your free trial and new subscriber month deal on DirecTV’s Entertainment tier, the monthly price goes up to $89.99\/month.\u00a0 If you’re interested in trying a live TV streaming service but aren’t ready to commit, we recommend starting with DirecTV.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fox<\/p>\n

FOX One is a relatively new streaming service from FOX that launched last summer. With a subscription to FOX One, you can tune in to all your favorite FOX channels like FOX News, FOX Sports, FOX Weather, FS1, FS2, FOX Business, FOX Deportes, Big Ten Network (B1G), and local FOX stations all in one place.<\/p>\n

FOX One offers live programming, as well as shows and movies on demand. At launch, the base price for FOX One will cost $19.99 a month, or you can save with an annual subscription for $199.99, but before you commit to a subscription, you can try it free for 3 days, which means you can catch at least a few World Cup games for nothing.<\/p>\n

Walmart+<\/p>\n

Peacock is home to all kinds of original content, from Emmy Award-winning reality series The Traitors to Poker Face and Twisted Metal. In addition to original content, the platform has an impressive library of shows from NBC and Bravo, thousands of movies, and live sports.<\/p>\n

While a regular Peacock subscription begins at $10.99 for a Premium Plan and goes up to $16.99 for the ad-free Premium Plus plan, you can get an ad-supported subscription for free if you’re a Walmart+ subscriber.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Walmart+ members actually get their choice between Paramount+ or Peacock included in their membership at no additional cost. A monthly subscription to Walmart+ costs $12.99, and an annual plan usually costs $98 \u2014 for free Peacock, and additional perks like five free months of Apple Music, discounts on Cinemark movie theater memberships, free shipping and delivery on Walmart purchases, discounts on gas, and much more. Qualifying students and customers receiving government assistance are eligible for 50% off Walmart+, which means that subscriptions for some customers runs as low as $49\/year.<\/p>\n
