Where to watch 2026 World Cup matches live: Broadcast information

The 2026 World Cup, hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada, promises to be a landmark event with its expansion to 48 participating nations. This increase in teams is expected to generate unprecedented global interest and broaden broadcast accessibility for fans eager to follow every match live.

For viewers in Argentina, a wide array of television and digital options will be available, particularly for games featuring the reigning world champions. DSports holds the rights to all 104 matches. Strategic alliances allow these broadcasts to be accessed via Flow (channels 109 and 110) and the digital platform Paramount+. Additionally, TyC Sports will broadcast 52 games, Telefé will air 32, and TV Pública will transmit 10, all of which will guarantee coverage of the Argentine national team's matches.

The digital landscape also sees significant expansion. ESPN will stream 30 matches through Disney+ Premium, including group stage games, knockout rounds, semifinals, and the final. Subscribers to these platforms will also have access to the Argentine team's games. Viewers can follow the national team on DSports, TyC Sports, TV Pública, and Telefé, with digital options including Disney+ Premium, Paramount+, Flow, Mi Telefé, DGO, and Telecentro Play.

This extensive broadcast infrastructure aims to meet the high demand generated by the tournament. The anticipation is fueled by the memory of the 2022 World Cup final between Argentina and France, which captivated 1.42 billion viewers worldwide and achieved record ratings in Argentina. Media companies are optimistic about replicating this enthusiasm with the new transmission structure for 2026.
