Let’s go, football fans, as Netflix has gone and landed a whopper here! From the 2030 FIFA World Cup, football fans in Spain and Andorra will be able to watch all 104 matches live on the service. That’s right, every single one.

Netflix announced the exclusive deal on October 13th, and we are not talking about some little tournament it has picked up to test the waters either. This is the centenary World Cup, the biggest show in football, turning up on the same app you were using to binge a thriller the night before.

And the timing for Spain could not have been better, with the country preparing to co-host the tournament as reigning world champions. A home World Cup with the title to defend? Come on, the atmosphere is going to be absolutely bonkers.

Now, before everyone starts searching Netflix for the FIFA World Cup tab, there is a catch: this deal covers Spain and Andorra, not every Netflix market. So, who gets access and what comes with it? Here’s everything to know.

When and where will the FIFA World Cup 2030 take place?

Mark your calendars, football fans, because the FIFA World Cup 2030 begins with its centenary matches on June 8th, before the main opening ceremony and opening games in Morocco, Portugal and Spain on June 13th–14th.

But there is more to this arrangement than meets the eye. To commemorate 100 years since the inaugural World Cup in 1930, Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay will each host a celebratory match. Uruguay won that first tournament after defeating Argentina in the final, so bringing the competition back to South America for its centenary feels like a fitting tribute.

How can you watch the FIFA World Cup 2030 on Netflix?

Ahh, sadly, Netflix will stream all 104 matches live to subscribers only in Spain and Andorra, complete with pre-match analysis and half-time discussions, followed by post-match coverage. A daily highlights programme will also keep supporters up to speed with the tournament’s developments.

Netflix hasn’t secured worldwide broadcasting rights yet, but there’s still time in 2030; we might see some developments, fingers crossed. And there’s other great news for Spanish supporters who don’t fancy paying for another subscription: one match per matchday will be available free, while a national free-to-air broadcaster will show every Spain match, both semi-finals and the final.

What other FIFA tournaments will Netflix stream?

Netflix’s football ambitions don’t end with the men’s World Cup, because the platform has secured exclusive rights to the FIFA Women’s World Cups in 2027 and 2031 across the United States and Canada.

The coverage will include English and Spanish commentary in the US, with English and French options available in Canada. Netflix will also broadcast the 2027 Women’s World Cup Final Draw on December 11th, 2026.

From its growing live-sports portfolio to a deal involving football’s most prestigious tournament, Netflix is making quite a statement.
