Netherlands’ Group F schedule and US coverage

FOX and FS1 are the English-language television homes for the 2026 World Cup in the United States, although the Netherlands’ three scheduled Group F games are all set for FOX. Streaming services carrying those channels include Fubo, DirecTV Stream and Sling TV.

Fubo offers a five-day trial and includes FOX and FS1 across its Sports + News, Pro and Elite packages. Its lower-cost Sports + News tier is listed at $55.99 per month after an introductory first-month price of $45.99. Fubo also offers cloud recording, apps on major mobile and connected-TV platforms, and a multiview function on compatible devices that can place up to four matches on one screen.

DirecTV Stream also has a five-day trial across its Entertainment, Choice and Ultimate plans. The entry-level Entertainment package is priced at $89.99 per month after its introductory rate. The service provides unlimited streams on a home network, while recordings can be retained for up to nine months through its cloud DVR.

Sling does not have a standard free trial, but it has introductory discounts on its Select, Blue and Orange & Blue packages. Its Select plan is listed at $19.99 per month after a $10 first-month offer. FOX availability is more limited on Sling, however: local FOX affiliates are carried only in selected major metropolitan markets, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta and Dallas. Viewers outside those areas may need an over-the-air antenna to receive FOX, while FS1 remains available through the relevant plans.

Spanish-language coverage and Dutch domestic rights

Telemundo has the exclusive Spanish-language television rights in the United States. The network and Universo have returned to Fubo following a distribution agreement with NBCUniversal, giving Fubo subscribers access to both channels for the tournament.

Telemundo is included with Fubo’s standard English-language base plan as well as its Latino package. Universo is available through the Latino plan and can also be added through Latino Plus or the Extra package for customers on the English-language tier. Universo is due to show selected fixtures, simultaneous group-stage matches and supplementary tournament programming.

Peacock will carry every one of the 104 World Cup games live in Spanish, providing a full-tournament streaming option beyond the linear Telemundo and Universo broadcasts.

In the Netherlands, public broadcaster NOS owns the exclusive 2026 World Cup rights. Its coverage will be free to air on television, including every Netherlands match, with live streams and highlights also available through NOS.nl.
