    For those wanting the Spanish language coverage, Peacock is the least costly package, priced at $5.99 per month. You’ll be able to watch the women’s coverage through the Telemundo network, while the FIFA Women’s World Cup is also available to stream through the subscription, again with Spanish language commentary and build-up.

    There’s no contract, meaning you can cancel your subscription at any time, although you can also save yourself an extra cost by paying for a yearly subscription at $59.99 per year.
