Netflix acquires exclusive Spain and Andorra rights to the 2030 World Cup, all 104 matches
Netflix will stream live all 104 matches of the 2030 FIFA World Cup in Spain and Andorra, with one match per matchday free to view. A national free-to-air broadcaster will carry Spain's games, both semifinals and the final, though the channel has not yet been named.
The deal
Netflix announced on Tuesday, 13 October 2026 that it has acquired exclusive rights for Spain and Andorra to the FIFA World Cup 2030, and will offer live coverage of all 104 matches of the tournament. The platform plans programming before each match, during the half-time break and after the final whistle, along with a daily summary show on match days and other content meant to build anticipation before the tournament starts.
The tournament marks the centenary of the competition. Spain, the defending World Cup champion, is one of its three host nations alongside Morocco and Portugal, while Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay will host the matches commemorating the centenary.
Free matches and free-to-air access
Under the agreement, viewers in Spain will be able to watch one match from each matchday for free on Netflix. Netflix also said a national free-to-air television channel will receive a package of matches that includes all of Spain's games, both semifinals and the final, which it says will guarantee wide availability across the country.
The company has not yet named that broadcaster. It said more details about the collaboration with a free-to-air channel for the broadcast of specific matches will be announced later.
Netflix and FIFA
Bela Bajaria, Netflix's chief content officer, linked the deal to the 2026 tournament, saying she was in the stands when Spain lifted the trophy this year. She said the experience showed how the tournament becomes part of a country's culture.
Few events unite people like the World Cup.
Bajaria also said that now that Spain will be one of the host countries in 2030, Netflix was pleased to offer all the matches on Netflix to fans in Spain and Andorra. The articles describe the agreement as expanding a growing collaboration between Netflix and FIFA.
Netflix already holds the broadcast rights to the 2027 and 2031 editions of the FIFA Women's World Cup in the United States and Canada. FIFA secretary general Mattias Grafström said FIFA was pleased to keep strengthening its collaboration with Netflix, with the 2030 tournament in view.
What remains open
The announcement leaves several questions for later. The free-to-air partner, the schedule of its matches and the terms of the free matches in Spain have not been published in the sources. Netflix's statement describes the coverage plan in general terms only, and the articles give no figures on subscriptions or pricing for the tournament.
