Quick facts
- Argentina face Egypt in the World Cup Round of 16.
- FOX will show the match in English in the United States.

Viewers using subscription streaming services should check that their package includes their local FOX affiliate, as selected group-stage fixtures are placed on FS1 rather than the main network. Fubo, DirecTV Stream and Sling each list FOX and FS1 within certain plans, although Sling’s local FOX availability is limited to selected major metropolitan areas.
Fubo has restored Telemundo and Universo to its line-up following an agreement with NBCUniversal. Telemundo is included in Fubo’s base English-language service as well as its Latino package, while Universo is available through the Latino plan and selected add-ons.
DirecTV Stream carries FOX, FS1, Telemundo and Universo in its relevant packages. Its service also offers unlimited streams on a home network and cloud recordings held for up to nine months. Fubo offers multiview capability on supported devices, allowing up to four matches on screen at once, alongside unlimited cloud DVR.
Sling offers up to three simultaneous streams on Sling Blue and four on the Orange & Blue combination, with 50 hours of cloud DVR storage. Its local FOX restriction remains significant: supporters outside markets such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta and Dallas may need another route to watch matches assigned to FOX.
An over-the-air digital antenna remains an option for viewers without a pay-TV or internet subscription. Local FOX and Telemundo signals can be received free of charge where available, although FS1 is not carried by antenna. Telemundo’s broad Spanish-language schedule provides an alternative for many games not shown on the main English-language channel.
In Argentina, Telefe and state broadcaster TV Pública will make every Argentina match, plus the World Cup final, available without subscription. DSports, through DIRECTV and the DGO application, will carry the complete 104-game programme.
TyC Sports is set to show about 90 matches for cable customers, while Disney+ will carry approximately 30 fixtures. The range of domestic coverage ensures Argentina supporters can follow both the defending champions’ route through the tournament and the wider World Cup schedule.
