Spanish-language coverage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States will be carried on Telemundo and Universo, with Peacock named as the official Spanish-language streaming platform — the core answer for fans wondering donde ver el mundial 2026.
The tournament runs Thursday, June 11, through Sunday, July 19, across 16 North American host cities, including Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey, Los Angeles and New York. Peacock will offer two tiers: Peacock Premium at $10.99 per month and Peacock Premium Plus at $16.99 per month.
For viewers who bundle channels, DirecTV is listing a MiEspañol genre package for $29.99 per month for the first two months that includes more than 20 Spanish-language channels, among them Telemundo and Universo. DirecTV’s service allows streaming on up to three devices simultaneously, offers unlimited cloud DVR and includes a free five-day trial.
English-language coverage will be carried by Fox Sports outlets: Fox will televise 70 matches and FS1 will televise 34 matches, and all matches will be streamed live through the Fox Sports app. Additional streaming availability is expected on YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Fubo TV and DirecTV Stream, which are all listed as platforms that will offer some matches.
For fans along the U.S.–Mexico border who planned to catch matches locally, a notable omission appears: San Diego County will not host any World Cup matches, even as local watch parties are being organized. Baja Fut Fest plans to show more than 35 World Cup matches on giant LED screens in Tijuana and Mexicali from June 11 to July 19 — at Palenque Del Fex in Mexicali and along Avenida Revolución in Tijuana — while groups in San Diego County coordinate their own viewing events.
San Diego FC is among those organizing watch-party access: one confirmed gathering will be at the Elite Athlete Training Center in Chula Vista for the United States match against Paraguay on June 12 at 18:00. That schedule item illustrates how fans in markets without host-city matches can still find local options for group viewing.
The practical choices for Spanish-speaking viewers break down into two paths: tune to Telemundo or Universo on traditional TV lineups, or stream via Peacock if you prefer a direct Spanish-language streaming option. DirecTV’s MiEspañol package provides a broader Spanish channel bundle for viewers who want more than the matches, and general streaming platforms carrying Fox Sports content will offer English feeds and match streams through the Fox Sports app.
What remains unresolved is the match-by-match allocation across these platforms: the current listings confirm which networks and services will carry the tournament and give prices and trial options, but they do not provide a complete breakdown of which specific matches will appear on which channel or app. That gap matters for fans planning parties, travel or subscriptions.
The next clear date for all fans is June 11, when the tournament opens; until then, expect broadcasters to publish full match assignments. For now, the shortest path to Spanish broadcasts in the U.S. is Telemundo and Universo, backed by Peacock for streaming and supported by subscription and trial options on services such as DirecTV, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Fubo TV and DirecTV Stream.
