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

But if you're trying to tune in from the United States, finding the match on your TV guide can be a bit of a puzzle. Is this pivotal fixture airing on your local broadcast network via FOX, or do you need to flip over to cable on FS1?

Four nations will make debuts at the 2026 World Cup, with Cape Verde, Curacao, Jordan and Uzbekistan set to grace the grandest stage in international football for the first time. It will be the tournament with the most newcomers since 2006 and all will have ambitions of ending a 16-year wait for a debutant to reach the knockout stages.

It's so close you can almost touch it. After years of build-up, the 2026 World Cup will kick-off on Thursday when co-hosts Mexico face off against South Africa in a repeat of the opening game from 2010. Over the next five-and-a-half weeks, records will be broken and legacies rewritten as a number of modern greats do battle to win the most recognisable trophy in all of sport.
