Peacock streams all 104 FIFA World Cup 2026 matches live in Spanish through Telemundo, from June 11 to July 19, 2026. You need Peacock Premium at $10.99 a month to watch.
Here is the free trial answer first. Peacock killed its direct 7-day trial in January 2023. But you can still watch free through Walmart+ ($1 for 30 days right now), Amazon Prime Video Channels (7-day Premium Plus trial), or by signing up through Xfinity, Cox, or Instacart+ if you already pay for those services.
Quick numbers to know. 104 matches across 16 host cities. 700 hours of programming. Premium starts at $10.99 a month. Spanish-language only. Service works in the United States only. Annual plans save you roughly two months.
What You Get When You Watch World Cup 2026 on Peacock
Every single match streams live on Peacock for Premium and Premium Plus subscribers. That is all 104 games, including the opening match in Mexico City on June 11 and the final at MetLife Stadium on July 19.
Telemundo’s coverage is the most extensive Spanish-language World Cup presentation in U.S. broadcast history. You also get six daily shows that wrap around the matches:
- Hoy en el Mundial: daily kickoff preview
- La Previa: official pregame from inside the stadiums
- El Mundial Ahora: final countdown to kickoff

Live crews cover all 16 host cities. Studio teams broadcast from Mexico City, Miami, and New York.

Peacock Plans and Cost for World Cup 2026
Here is the breakdown. Pricing is direct from peacocktv.com.
| Plan | Monthly | Annual | World Cup access | Ads |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Peacock Select | $7.99 | $79.99 | No | With ads |
| Peacock Premium | $10.99 | $109.99 | All 104 matches | With ads |
| Peacock Premium Plus | $16.99 | $169.99 | All 104 matches + local NBC live | Mostly ad-free |
Two important notes most articles skip.
Peacock Select does not include sports. It is the cheap tier for shows only. You cannot watch the World Cup on it. Premium is the minimum.
Premium Plus removes ads from on-demand shows and movies, but live sports always carry broadcast ads regardless of tier. That means World Cup matches on Premium Plus will still have halftime and stoppage commercial breaks. Premium Plus is worth the extra $6 only if you also stream a lot of movies and shows beyond the tournament.
Annual plans are 12 months for the price of 10. You save $22 on Premium and $34 on Premium Plus over a full year.

FAQ About Watching World Cup 2026 on Peacock
How can I watch World Cup 2026 on Peacock for free?
Three real options. First, sign up for Walmart+ at $1 for 30 days, which includes Peacock Premium. Second, use the 7-day free trial on Premium Plus through Amazon Prime Video Channels. Third, if you have Xfinity, Cox, Spectrum, or Instacart+, your Peacock Premium is already included at no extra charge. There is also a free over-the-air route: a digital antenna pulls Telemundo, which airs 92 of the 104 matches free.
Does Peacock have a free trial for World Cup 2026?
Not directly. Peacock discontinued its 7-day free trial in January 2023. The closest free trial is through Amazon Prime Video Channels, which offers a 7-day Premium Plus trial. Walmart+ also gives 30 days of Peacock Premium with its $1 trial offer.
Is World Cup 2026 on Peacock in English?
No. Peacock carries the Spanish-language Telemundo coverage only. For English broadcasts, you need Fox, FS1, or Fox One streaming.
Does Peacock Select include World Cup 2026?
No. Peacock Select at $7.99 a month excludes all sports content. Premium at $10.99 is the minimum tier for World Cup access.
What time do World Cup 2026 matches start on Peacock?
Match times vary by venue and round. Group stage games run from morning to evening Eastern Time. Most U.S.-hosted matches kick off between noon and 10 p.m. ET. The final on July 19 starts at 3 p.m. ET at MetLife Stadium.
Can I watch Peacock outside the United States?
No. Peacock is licensed for U.S. viewers only. Traveling abroad will block your access to live matches and most other content.
Will Peacock have replays of World Cup 2026 matches?
Yes. Premium and Premium Plus subscribers can watch full match replays on demand after each game ends. Highlights and condensed games are also available through the Copa Mundial hub.
Is Peacock Premium Plus ad-free for the World Cup?
No. Premium Plus removes ads from on-demand shows and movies, but live sports always carry broadcast ads on every tier. World Cup matches will include halftime and stoppage-time commercials regardless of which plan you choose.
How much does it cost to watch the entire World Cup 2026 on Peacock?
Two months of Peacock Premium covers the entire tournament. Sign up June 11 and cancel after the July 19 final. You will be billed for two months at $21.98 total. That is the cheapest paid path to all 104 matches.
If you want to watch World Cup 2026 on Peacock, Premium at $10.99 a month is all you need. It unlocks every one of the 104 matches in Spanish, the full Telemundo programming slate, and access on every major device. Premium Plus at $16.99 is worth it only if you also want ad-free shows and movies outside the tournament. The ads on live matches stay either way.
The annual plan makes sense if you watch beyond the tournament. 39 days of World Cup plus regular Premier League, NFL, and Telemundo programming gets you full value from $109.99. If you only want the tournament, two months of monthly billing comes to $21.98 and covers everything from kickoff to final.
For the cheapest path, start with Walmart+ at $1 for 30 days. That covers the entire group stage free. Then decide whether to keep Walmart+ or switch to direct Peacock Premium for the knockout rounds.
Sign up before June 11. The opening match kicks off at Estadio Azteca (officially Mexico City Stadium for the tournament), and you do not want to miss it.
