GOAL’s complete Germany FIFA World Cup 2026 viewing guide, including how to watch for free and without cable!

We're now less than a week away from the start of the 2026 World Cup, with teams currently making their final preparations ahead of the big kick-off in the United States, Mexico and Canada on Thursday. This is the biggest World Cup ever, with 48 teams having qualified, meaning there are a whole host of players making their first appearance on the global stage.

The USMNT fell short against Germany in their final pre-World Cup tune-up, but Mauricio Pochettino still saw signs of progress as Antonee Robinson delivered a stunning goal, Malik Tillman impressed in a deeper role, and Miles Robinson endured another difficult outing.

Record Germany cap-holder Lothar Matthäus was amused by the conditions in the US after the DFB side's final World Cup warm-up on Saturday night.
