Short answer: the 2026 World Cup is over. Spain beat Argentina 1-0 after extra time in the final at MetLife Stadium on 19 July. If you want to watch it now, full match replays are still available legally in the US: on Fox One, and free with ads on Tubi, which has a hub of full 2026 replays. The catch is that replay rights are country-specific and time-limited, so what you can watch depends on where you live, and archives can disappear without much warning.

What happened: the tournament in brief
The 2026 World Cup was the first with 48 teams and 104 matches, and the first co-hosted by three countries: the US, Canada and Mexico. It ran from 11 June to 19 July.
The final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey was goalless after 90 minutes. Argentina went down to ten men late in normal time, and Ferran Torres scored in the 106th minute to give Spain a 1-0 win and their second world title. Spain dominated the match statistically, with about 20 shots to Argentina's three.
With the tournament over, the search for "where to watch the World Cup" is now about replays, highlights and the next tournament.
Replays in the US: Fox One and Tubi
Fox held the English-language US rights and still controls the replays.
| Service | What's there | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Tubi (Fox-owned) | Full 2026 match replays, highlights, studio shows | Free with ads, no card needed |
| Fox One | Replays, extended highlights, Fox's wider sports offer | $19.99/month or $199.99/year |
| FIFA+ and FIFA's YouTube channel | Highlights and selected content | Free |
Tubi is the obvious place to start. Fox has put full 2026 match replays in a dedicated World Cup hub on Tubi, free to watch with ads. Tubi runs on almost every smart TV, streaming stick and phone.
Fox One makes sense if you want Fox's live sport as well, such as college football and the NFL on Fox. It isn't necessary for replays alone.
If you're setting up a TV to stream these apps, our smart TV app guide covers the basics.
Spanish-language replays
Telemundo held the Spanish-language US rights, showing most matches free on Telemundo and the rest on Universo. Replays and highlights are available through Peacock, whose Premium plan costs $12.99 a month after the August 2026 increase. Some Walmart+ memberships include Peacock at no extra cost.
How long full-match replays stay on Peacock isn't guaranteed, so if there's a particular match you want in Spanish, it's worth watching sooner rather than later.
Replays in the UK, Canada and elsewhere
Every country had its own broadcaster, and replays follow those rights.
- UK: the BBC and ITV shared the tournament. Check BBC iPlayer and ITVX for remaining replays and highlight programmes; availability windows vary by programme.
- Canada: Bell Media (TSN and CTV) held the rights. Check TSN's and CTV's apps for archive content.
- Other countries: the official FIFA website lists each country's broadcaster, and that broadcaster's app is the first place to look.
A US service such as Tubi generally shows its World Cup content only in the US. Our UK streaming guide covers the UK's catch-up apps and devices in more detail.
Free highlights and documentaries
If you don't need full 90 minutes:
- FIFA+ and FIFA's YouTube channel carry official highlights of every match, available worldwide.
- Broadcaster YouTube channels, including Fox Soccer and Telemundo Deportes in the US, post match highlights and analysis.
- Official films and documentaries usually follow each World Cup, often on streaming services a few months after the final. Watch for announcements from FIFA and the major streamers.
Watching the final again
The final is the most-watched replay, and the easiest to find. In the US, it's on Tubi's World Cup hub and on Fox One, with the Spanish broadcast on Peacock. Extended highlights are on FIFA's official channels worldwide.
For a spoiler-free experience, avoid the thumbnails on YouTube; they tend to give the result away. Launch the replay directly from the Tubi or Fox One search instead.
What's next: 2027 and 2030
| Tournament | When and where | US and Canada broadcaster |
|---|---|---|
| Women's World Cup 2027 | 24 June to 25 July 2027, Brazil | Netflix, all matches, every plan |
| Men's World Cup 2030 | Morocco, Portugal and Spain, with opening games in South America | Check nearer the time; US rights for 2030 are separate from the 2026 deals |
The 2027 Women's World Cup is the first to stream exclusively on Netflix in the US and Canada, with English and Spanish commentary in the US and English and French in Canada. You won't need a separate sports subscription.
Getting the replay apps on your TV
The replay services in this guide are available on nearly every streaming platform, but a few details make them easier to use.
Tubi is free and doesn't require an account to start watching, although creating one lets you save your place in a long match and build a watchlist. It's on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Google TV, Samsung, LG and Vizio televisions, games consoles, phones and browsers. Search "World Cup" inside the app to find the Fox hub.
Fox One is a paid subscription that you can sign up for inside its app or on the web. It also includes Fox's other live sport, so if you're a college football or NFL fan, it may already be worth having this autumn.
Peacock carries the Spanish-language coverage. If you already have Peacock for the Premier League or other NBC sport, check its World Cup section before paying for anything else.
BBC iPlayer and ITVX in the UK are free (iPlayer requires a TV licence) and available on most smart TVs, Freeview Play devices, Sky and Virgin boxes, and streaming sticks.
Picture quality. Replays generally stream in HD. A wired connection or strong 5 GHz Wi-Fi to your streaming device will make a bigger difference than any plan upgrade, especially on large televisions.
Watching as a group. If you're hosting a rewatch of the final, test the stream beforehand and download nothing: legal replay apps stream on demand, and unofficial "download" sites offering World Cup matches are a common source of malware.
The tournament in numbers
| Fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Teams | 48, up from 32 |
| Matches | 104, up from 64 |
| Hosts | United States, Canada and Mexico |
| Dates | 11 June to 19 July 2026 |
| Champion | Spain, a second title after 2010 |
The bigger format means many more matches to rewatch than at previous tournaments, including a new round of 32. If you're working through the knockout stage, browsing Tubi's World Cup hub is usually quicker than searching team by team.
Spain's win also made them the first country to hold the men's and women's world titles at the same time, which adds interest to the 2027 Women's World Cup in Brazil.
For collectors of football history, the 2026 archive is also worth grabbing while it's easy to find. Past tournaments show that full replays tend to become harder to locate as the years pass, often surfacing later only in highlight form or in official films. If there's a match you care about, such as your country's knockout game or the final, watching it while the Fox hub is still online is the simplest option.
Tubi's replays play with advertising breaks, which fall at natural pauses such as half-time. If you'd rather avoid ads, Fox One is the paid alternative, though for a one-off rewatch Tubi is usually the sensible choice.
