Netflix has acquired exclusive rights to broadcast all 104 matches of the 2030 FIFA World Cup in Spain and Andorra, the company announced on Oct. 13, 2026. The agreement marks the first time Netflix will carry the full men’s World Cup in those territories.
Subscribers in Spain and Andorra will be able to stream every match live. Netflix’s coverage will also include pregame, halftime and post-match programming, as well as a daily roundup show on match days.
Some games will remain available free-to-air in Spain. Netflix said one match per match day will be offered at no charge, while free coverage will include every match involving Spain, both semifinals and the final. The national broadcaster or broadcasters carrying those games have not been named.
The rights agreement is limited to Spain and Andorra, with World Cup broadcast rights elsewhere negotiated separately. It expands Netflix’s relationship with FIFA after the streaming company secured rights to the 2027 and 2031 Women’s World Cups in the United States and Canada.
