World Cup 2026 live stream: TV Channels and Fixtures worldwide

World Cup 2026 live streams: BBC & ITVX (UK) / SBS (Australia) / Fox/FS1 via Fubo (US)

Watch from anywhere with Norton VPN (try for 60 days)

Thursday, June 11 – Friday, July 19

World Cup 2026 live streams are serving up the quarter-final clash between Mbappe's France and Hakimi's Morocco today at 9pm BST / 4pm ET.

France will undoubtedly have prepared for the worst. They've won four of their six previous meetings with the Atlas Lions, drawing the other two, and Kylian Mbappe and Michael Olise have been two of the best players at the World Cup.

The game takes place in extraordinary circumstances, with trust in FIFA at an all-time low. And now, an all-Argentine team of referees has been appointed to officiate this France vs Morocco game.

Every match from here on out is one bad touch, one worldie, or one penalty shootout away from football immortality. France vs Morocco gets the last-eight party started today, with Spain, Belgium, England, Norway, Argentina and Switzerland all still dreaming of lifting the trophy.

Whether you're watching from your sofa, on your commute or pretending to work (we won't tell), here's exactly how to stream every World Cup 2026 live stream.

World Cup 2026: Need to Know

World Cup 2026 Preview

The World Cup has reached the stage where heroes are made, favourites wobble, and every loose back-pass feels like a heart-stopped (see: England vs Mexico).

Meanwhile, the Golden Boot race is a a four-way sprint featuring Kylian Mbappe (7), Erling (7), Lionel Messi (8) and Harry Kane (6).

After 96 games, we are down to eight: France, Morocco, Spain, Belgium, Norway, England, Argentina and Switzerland.

The quarter-finals start today, July 9, with France vs Morocco in Boston, before Spain face Belgium, Norway meet England on Saturday, July 11, and Lionel Messi’s Argentina try to dodge another banana skin against Switzerland.

And the semi-final picture is shaping up nicely: France or Morocco will face Spain or Belgium on July 14, while Norway or England will meet Argentina or Switzerland on July 15.
