Official English-language coverage
FOX Sports is the English-language home of the tournament in the United States. All 104 matches are carried across FOX and FS1, with live and on-demand streaming available through FOX One and supported FOX Sports experiences. The exact channel for a match depends on the official schedule.
Before matchday, confirm whether the app requires a television-provider sign-in or a direct streaming subscription. Do not assume that installing an app automatically unlocks every live match.
Official Spanish-language coverage
Telemundo delivers the Spanish-language presentation, with matches across Telemundo and Universo. Peacock streams all 104 matches live in Spanish and provides a dedicated Spanish-language World Cup experience. The Telemundo App is another official option for supported users.
Choose the right language and platform
- English commentary: start with FOX, FS1, FOX One or the supported FOX Sports app.
- Spanish commentary: start with Telemundo, Universo, Peacock or the Telemundo App.
- Over-the-air viewing: availability depends on your local FOX or Telemundo affiliate and antenna reception.
- Streaming: check account, subscription and location requirements before kickoff.
Roku setup
- Open Streaming Store or search from the Roku Home screen.
- Install the official broadcaster app.
- Check for a Roku system update.
- Sign in and test a live programme.
- Move the app near the top of the Home screen.
Roku support recommends checking the correct Wi-Fi network, moving the device closer to the router and restarting both Roku and the router when connection problems appear. Read our complete Roku bilingual setup guide.
Fire TV setup
Search the Amazon Appstore for the official app, install it and sign in. Use the supplied mains power adapter rather than a weak television USB port. Keep Fire OS current and clear app cache only when a specific app freezes or refuses to load.
See our Fire TV English and Spanish app guide.

Samsung, LG and other Smart TVs
Open the television's official app store and search for the broadcaster app. App availability depends on the model, software version and US service region. If an older television no longer supports the app, use a current Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV or Google TV device instead of downloading an unknown file.
Plan for US time zones
World Cup matches may be listed in Eastern Time, while viewers live across Central, Mountain, Pacific, Alaska and Hawaii time zones. Confirm the local time in the official app or programme guide, especially when a match crosses midnight in another region.
- Eastern Time is three hours ahead of Pacific Time.
- Central Time is one hour behind Eastern Time.
- Mountain Time is usually two hours behind Eastern Time.
- Check local daylight-saving rules and the broadcaster's final schedule.
Matchday checklist
- Confirm the correct language, app and local kickoff time.
- Sign in before the pre-match show begins.
- Update the streaming device earlier in the day.
- Test a live channel, not only an on-demand clip.
- Use Ethernet or strong 5 GHz Wi-Fi.
- Pause console updates, backups and large downloads.
- Check audio output, captions and remote batteries.
Replays and spoiler control
When a match is inconvenient, use official replay or highlight options. Disable score notifications, mute team accounts and avoid sports news pages before watching. Some home screens reveal results in thumbnails, so open the replay directly when possible.
Buffering during a live match
Live sport cannot build a large buffer without falling behind. If the picture freezes, lower quality to Auto or HD, close and reopen the app, test another device and pause background traffic. Use our US home Wi-Fi buffering guide for a complete troubleshooting order.
