How to watch FIFA World Cup 2026 with Spanish commentary
In the United States, Telemundo holds the exclusive Spanish-language broadcast rights, and they are pulling out all the stops for this home-soil tournament.
Thanks to a last-minute distribution agreement with NBCUniversal, Telemundo and Universo are officially returning to Fubo today, just in time for the tournament.
Telemundo will carry the bulk of the major matches. You can access it through:
- The Base English-Language TV Plan: You don’t even need a special Spanish package to get the main broadcast; it’s included right in Fubo's standard tier.
- The Latino Plan: Fubo’s dedicated Spanish-language package.
How to Watch Universo
Universo will host select matches, concurrent group-stage games, and supplementary coverage. You can find it in:
- The Latino Plan: Included natively.
- The Latino Plus Add-On: Perfect if you have the base English plan but want to add extra Spanish sports coverage.
- The Extra Package: An add-on for the base English-language tier.
Elsewhere, Peacock is the official streaming home for every single goal. For the 2026 tournament, Peacock is streaming all 104 matches live in Spanish.
What broadcaster is showing the World Cup in Sweden?
In Sweden, the broadcasting rights for the 2026 FIFA World Cup are shared between the public service broadcaster, SVT (Sveriges Television), and the commercial broadcaster, TV4. This partnership ensures that the entire tournament remains fully accessible to the public, delivering extensive free-to-air coverage for viewers across the country without requiring premium subscription fees.
To accommodate fans for the expanded 104-match competition, the two networks divide the live fixtures. TV4 carries a larger portion of the overall tournament, including the opening match and the final, while both networks split the group stage matches of the national team. These terrestrial broadcasts feature localized commentary, match-day studio programs, and expert analysis, ensuring followers of Blågult can catch every critical moment of their Group F campaign against Tunisia, the Netherlands, and Japan in high definition. SVT handles live coverage for the games against Tunisia and Japan, while TV4 broadcasts the crucial matchup against the Netherlands.
For viewers who prefer to stream the tournament online, every game is accessible live and on-demand through the broadcasters' respective digital streaming platforms: SVT Play and TV4 Play. These digital services provide a flexible viewing experience, allowing football fans in Sweden to follow the progress of the national team and other global giants on any mobile, tablet, or smart TV device throughout June and July.
