The 2026 FIFA World Cup runs from 11 June to 19 July across the United States, Canada and Mexico — 48 teams and 104 matches, the biggest tournament ever played. Because kickoffs span ten North American venues and four host time zones, match times look very different depending on where you watch. This guide converts every kickoff to your local time and shows which TV channel or streaming service carries each game in your country.
The final is on Sunday 19 July 2026 at the New York New Jersey Stadium. Kickoff is 8PM in the UK, 3PM Eastern in the US, and 9PM in most of central Europe — select your country above to see it on your clock.
Every match is free-to-air in the UK, split between BBC (BBC One, BBC Two, BBC iPlayer) and ITV (ITV1, ITV4, ITVX). This page shows the confirmed channel for each fixture.
In many countries, yes: the UK (BBC/ITV), Australia (SBS), Malta (TVM/PBS), Mexico (TelevisaUnivision and TV Azteca) and Brazil (CazéTV on YouTube) all carry free coverage. Other markets split matches between free public broadcasters and paid services such as DAZN, beIN Sports or MagentaTV — pick your country above for the local picture.
104 — a group stage of 72 matches across twelve groups, then a knockout bracket from the round of 32 through to the final.
