Streaming giant Netflix has secured the broadcasting rights to the 2030 FIFA World Cup in Spain and Andorra, marking the first time the subscription platform will air the men's World Cup.

Netflix confirmed it will broadcast all 104 matches of the tournament live. The company also said that one match per matchday will be available to watch for free in Spain, giving fans without a subscription access to the action.

Spain's matches and the final will continue to be shown on free-to-air television alongside the Netflix coverage, ensuring broad public access to the most high-profile fixtures.

A landmark tournament with African and South American co-hosts

The 2030 World Cup will be co-hosted by reigning champions Spain, Portugal, and Morocco — a historic arrangement that will see Africa host World Cup matches for the first time since South Africa's 2010 edition. Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay will also stage selected matches to mark the tournament's centenary.

Netflix's growing footprint in live sport

The deal extends Netflix's expansion into live sports. The platform has previously broadcast live events in the UK, including WWE Wrestling, NFL matches, and boxing bouts. It is also set to air the heavyweight clash between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua in December.

Netflix additionally holds the rights to the 2027 and 2031 editions of the women's World Cup in the United States and Canada, underscoring its ambition to become a major player in global live sport.
