From match day previews to world class goals, catch the action from the 2026 FIFA World Cup action on YouTube.

From the first whistle on June 11 to the final trophy lift on July 19, YouTube is serving as the ultimate digital stadium. Together with official media partners and YouTube creators, we’re giving every fan a front-row seat to the action, whether you’re looking for live matches, lightning-fast highlights, or behind-the-scenes access you won’t find anywhere else.

Here’s your guide on how to stay connected to the FIFA World Cup 2026.

Step 1: Find your official broadcaster channels

While the official FIFA YouTube channel will offer tournament highlights and analysis, many of FIFA’s official media partners will be streaming the first 10 minutes of the matches and/or a selection of full matches from start to finish. Depending on where you are, you’ll want to head to your local broadcasters’ YouTube channel like the BBC in the U.K., Fox Sports and Telemundo in the U.S., TSN in Canada, TUDN in Mexico, Deportes RCN in Colombia, and more across the globe and set reminders for FIFA World Cup related content.

Step 2: Tune in live

Our preferred platform partnership with FIFA provides more ways for viewers to catch live action. Official broadcasters have the option to share the first 10 minutes of every single match live on their YouTube channels. This gives you a taste of the excitement before heading to their full broadcasts, though some partners may choose to stream select full matches directly on the platform throughout the tournament.

For fans in the U.S., YouTube TV has live action from all matches on Fox, FS1, Telemundo and Universo. Viewers who signed up for FOX One through Primetime Channels can also enjoy all 104 matches available through their FOX One subscription, directly on YouTube. Fans watching on either YouTube TV or Primetime Channels can take advantage of features like key plays to catch up on the most exciting moments of the match and multiview, which lets you watch multiple matches simultaneously.

Step 3: Catch the highlights in every format

If you miss a match, we’ve got you covered as official broadcasters have access to the most robust library of match footage across formats. You can dive into Shorts to see all the wondergoals, watch recaps for deeper context, or browse daily goal compilations to see every bit of the action. Just search “FIFA World Cup 2026” to catch anything you want to relive or may have missed.
