The FIFA World Cup is here.
It all gets started this afternoon with Mexico vs. South Africa officially kicking off the tournament.
While the streaming situation with the World Cup is a lot less complicated than other leagues and tournaments if you don’t have cable (since all matches will air on one of two networks), there are still ways to make it even easier, by consolidating subscriptions under one app.
If you’re a Prime Video subscriber, here’s the best way to stream every minute of the World Cup live.
How to watch the World Cup 2026 on Prime Video
The World Cup is not streaming on Prime Video as part of a base subscription, however, Prime Video subscribers have the opportunity to shop add-on subscriptions built right into the platform.
The FOX One add-on will stream all 104 games of the World Cup. FOX One comes with a three-day free trial before $19.99/month payments kick in.
Prime Video also has the option to subscribe to Peacock as an add-on. Peacock, via Telemndo, will broadcast every match of the World Cup in Spanish. The streamer costs $16.99/month after a seven-day free trial.
