The best streaming deals to score ahead of the 2026 World Cup

DirecTV's Choice and Entertainment tiers get you access to loads of channels where you can tune in to everything from the World Cup to your favorite cable dramas. Channels include Fox, FS1, Telemundo, Universo, ESPN, Lifetime, A&E and, in most markets, local affiliates for ABC, CBS, and NBC. 

You'll also get unlimited Cloud DVR storage and access to ESPN+'s premium streaming tier, ESPN Unlimited. 

DirecTV Choice is currently available for $64.99 for your first month, that's a $30 savings over the regular rate. (After the initial offer ends, you'll be charged $94.99/month, or you can cancel at any time.) You can also get $30 off your first month of DirecTV's Entertainment package which costs even less, $59.99 for your first month and $89.99/month thereafter. Browse all the plans here. You can also try out any plan for free for five days. If you're interested in trying out a live-TV streaming service but aren't ready to commit, we recommend starting with DirecTV. 

Fubo TV gives you access to Fox, FS1, ESPN, ABC, CBS, NFL Network and 100+ more live channels. At up to $84/month, the live-TV streaming service is definitely a big investment, but it's one of the most comprehensive ways to watch live TV, including the World Cup, the MLB, NFL and more, and still leaves you with major savings compared to a traditional cable package. Fubo subscribers also get 1,000 hours of cloud DVR storage.

Right now the platform is offering a free 7-day trial so you can check out everything the platform has to offer, risk-free, and on top of that, you can get up to $30 off your first month of a Fubo Elite plan of $25 off a Fubo Pro plan.

ESPN Unlimited rolls all 7 ESPN-affiliated networks — ESPN, ESPN2, SEC Network, ACC Network, along with ESPN+, SEC+, and ACCNX — into one plan. It's effectively "cable ESPN, but via streaming." That means subscribers can access more than 47,000 live events each year, on-demand replays, original programming, and more. Purchased alone, the plan costs $29.99/month.

FOX One is the home to all the major FOX channels: Fox News, FOX Sports, FOX Weather, FS1, FS2, FOX Business, FOX Deportes, Big Ten Network (B1G), local FOX stations, and FOX Network. Users also have access to on-demand content from FOX Entertainment, including movies, TV shows, comedies, ad-supported channels like LiveNOW and TMZ, and FOX podcasts. A FOX One subscription costs $19.99 a month. 

With the Fox One/ESPN bundle, you can combine both services for one low rate of $39.99/month. That means access to every World Cup match, plus tons of NFL and college football games, great shows, news, and more, all at a savings of $120/year.

Peacock is home to all kinds of original content, from Emmy Award-winning reality series The Traitors to Poker Face and Twisted Metal. In addition to original content, the platform has an impressive library of shows from NBC and Bravo, thousands of movies, and live sports, including the Spanish-language broadcasts of every 2026 World Cup match.

While a regular Peacock subscription begins at $10.99 for a Premium Plan and goes up to $16.99 for the ad-free Premium Plus plan, you can get an ad-supported subscription for free if you're a Walmart+ subscriber. 

A monthly subscription to Walmart+ costs $12.99, and an annual plan usually costs $98, but right now, for a limited time, you can actually get a one-month trial for just $1. That means you'll get all the perks of a Walmart+ subscription, including free shipping and delivery on Walmart purchases, discounts on gas, five free months of Apple Music, discounts on Cinemark movie theater memberships, and free Peacock for 30 days.

Customers in the U.S. can save over 30% on regular prices by subscribing to the Apple TV and Peacock Premium bundle for $14.99/month, which is like getting Peacock as a $2 add-on to an Apple TV plan. The ad-free Apple TV and Peacock Premium Plus plan costs $19.99/month, a savings of $9.99/month compared to the non-bundled prices.

This first-of-its-kind bundle offers the best of both services, including award-winning originals, live events and sports, including every World Cup game in Spanish, plus you'll get shows like Ted Lasso, Severance, The Paper, The Traitors, MLS and MLB games, the NBA and much more, all through one monthly subscription.

This bundle cannot be purchased on third-party device partners, and the Apple TV subscription (formerly Apple TV+) does not include third-party branded subscription services or content available for rental or purchase in the Apple TV app.
