How to watch FIFA World Cup 2026 with Spanish commentary
Peacock is the exclusive streaming home for Spanish-language coverage. It will stream all 104 matches live with Telemundo’s acclaimed commentary team.
In Australia, the SBS network is the exclusive broadcaster for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, holding the rights to show all 104 matches of the tournament completely live and free. Unlike some previous major sporting events that were split with subscription services, SBS will provide comprehensive coverage across its main channel, SBS VICELAND, and its digital platform, SBS On Demand.
This free-to-air access includes every Socceroos match, which will be led by veteran commentator David Basheer, alongside a studio team featuring football legends Harry Kewell and Lydia Williams. Fans can also access full match replays, highlights, and a dedicated World Cup hub through the SBS On Demand app.
If you are on holiday and find your favorite streaming app is blocked, a VPN allows you to virtually relocate your connection by routing your data through a server in your home country, providing you with a local IP address. This enables you to access your usual broadcasts as if you were sitting on your own couch, though it’s worth noting that while using a VPN is generally legal, bypassing geographic restrictions may conflict with a service's Terms of Service and the specific licensing agreements broadcasters have in place.
