Türkiye’s return to the FIFA World Cup will begin in Vancouver on 13 June 2026, with the national side placed in Group D alongside Australia, Paraguay and hosts the United States.

Group D schedule takes Türkiye across North America
The Turkish team’s group-stage campaign opens against Australia in Vancouver. Six days later, Türkiye will meet Paraguay in the San Francisco Bay Area, before facing the USA at SoFi Stadium on 25 June.
- 13 June: Türkiye v Australia, Vancouver
- 19 June: Türkiye v Paraguay, San Francisco Bay Area
- 25 June: Türkiye v USA, SoFi Stadium
The meeting with the United States is set to be the final and potentially decisive match of Türkiye’s Group D programme.
English and Spanish coverage in the United States
FOX and FS1 will carry Türkiye’s World Cup matches in English in the United States. The Spanish-language allocation is split between Telemundo, which will show 92 tournament games, and Universo, which has the other 12.
Peacock will provide live Spanish-language streams of all 104 matches in the expanded finals, offering another route to follow every fixture rather than only Türkiye’s group games.
| Platform or network | Coverage |
|---|---|
| FOX and FS1 | English-language US broadcasts, including Türkiye fixtures |
| Telemundo | 92 matches in Spanish |
| Universo | 12 matches in Spanish |
| Peacock | All 104 matches live in Spanish |
Streaming options and carriage position
Fubo’s five-day trial can be used to access FOX and FS1 for viewers seeking English-language coverage. A distribution agreement with NBCUniversal has also returned Telemundo and Universo to the service in time for the tournament.
Telemundo is included with Fubo’s standard English-language television tier as well as its Latino plan. Universo is available through the Latino plan, the Latino Plus add-on and the Extra package.
DIRECTV STREAM also offers a five-day trial and includes Telemundo and Universo, while its plans carry FOX and FS1. Sling provides FS1, but access to local FOX affiliates is limited to selected major metropolitan areas, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta and Dallas. Viewers outside those markets may need an over-the-air antenna for matches carried on their local FOX station.
TRT holds Turkish rights
In Türkiye, public broadcaster TRT owns the rights to the 2026 World Cup. The broadcaster will show the 104-match competition free to air, principally on TRT 1 and TRT Spor, with all Turkish national-team fixtures included.
Supporters in Türkiye will also be able to follow matches and highlights through the tabii streaming platform, along with the TRT Spor website and app.
