How the US rights work
FOX Sports holds the English-language rights to every match. The split is usually: FOX (broadcast network) gets the biggest draws like the opener, USMNT group games, all matches from the quarterfinals onward, and the Final. FS1 (cable) gets the rest of the group stage and the Round of 32. Channel assignments are published ~10 days ahead by FOX.
Telemundo holds the US Spanish-language rights. Telemundo broadcasts the marquee matches on its broadcast network; Universo (cable) takes the rest. The full 104-match catalog streams onPeacock in Spanish.
If you don't have cable, FOX's coverage streams on theFOX Sports app with a TV-provider login, or any live-TV streaming bundle (YouTube TV, Hulu+Live TV, FuboTV, Sling Blue, DirecTV Stream) that includes FOX and FS1.
