Experience FOX One without charge for a week, Fubo, and DirecTV for five days. The most extended trial is offered by YouTube TV, providing 21 days of free access. Additionally, a terrestrial antenna can grant you no-cost reception of Fox network stations.
YouTube TV
YouTube TV offers access to every essential network for following the 2026 World Cup, such as Fox, FS1, Universo, and Telemundo.
Currently, a special offer for YouTube TV is available: an introductory rate of $67.99 per month for the initial five months, increasing to $82.99 monthly afterward, complemented by a 10-day no-cost trial period.
A point of consideration: live broadcasts on YouTube TV typically experience a minor delay, which might not be optimal for real-time, second-by-second event tracking.
DirecTV
DirecTV’s Entertainment package (presently priced at $59.99 for the inaugural month, then $89.99 subsequently) provides nearly all necessary channels for World Cup viewing: Fox, FS1, and Telemundo. The DirecTV Entertainment plan additionally includes complimentary ESPN Unlimited, granting entry to all ESPN networks, representing significant value and essential for extensive year-round sports coverage.
DirecTV features a 5-day no-cost trial across all its plans, allowing for a risk-free assessment. Following the free trial and the new customer promotional month for DirecTV’s Entertainment tier, the regular monthly charge rises to $89.99. For those considering a live television streaming platform but hesitant to make a long-term commitment, DirecTV is suggested as a starting point.
Fox
FOX One represents a recently introduced digital streaming offering from FOX, which became available last summer. A FOX One membership allows access to all preferred FOX channels, including FOX News, FOX Sports, FOX Weather, FS1, FS2, FOX Business, FOX Deportes, Big Ten Network (B1G), and local FOX affiliates, consolidated into a single platform.
FOX One provides both real-time broadcasts and an array of on-demand programs and films. Upon its debut, the standard monthly rate for FOX One is $19.99, with an annual plan available at $199.99 for savings; however, prior to subscribing, a 3-day no-cost trial is offered, enabling viewers to watch several World Cup matches without charge.
Walmart+
Peacock serves as the repository for diverse proprietary programming, spanning from the Emmy Award-winning reality program The Traitors to series such as Poker Face and Twisted Metal. Beyond its exclusive creations, the service boasts a substantial catalog of NBC and Bravo shows, an extensive collection of films, and live athletic events.
Although a standard Peacock subscription starts at $10.99 for the Premium Plan and reaches $16.99 for the ad-free Premium Plus plan, members of Walmart+ can receive an ad-supported subscription at no charge.
Indeed, Walmart+ subscribers are afforded the option of selecting either Paramount+ or Peacock as part of their membership, incurring no extra fees. A monthly Walmart+ membership is priced at $12.99, with an annual subscription typically costing $98 — this includes complimentary Peacock access, along with supplementary benefits such as five free months of Apple Music, price reductions on Cinemark cinema memberships, free shipping and delivery for Walmart orders, fuel savings, and a host of other advantages. Eligible students and individuals receiving public assistance qualify for a 50% reduction on Walmart+, allowing some customers to subscribe for as little as $49 per annum.
