Netflix to Stream All 104 World Cup Matches
The agreement gives Netflix coverage of every match at the 2030 tournament in Spain and Andorra. The platform has confirmed that one game on each matchday will be available to watch free in Spain.
The arrangement also preserves free-to-air coverage of Spain's matches and the final, giving viewers options beyond a paid Netflix subscription.
Netflix just got a front-row seat to the 2030 World Cup. The streamer secured exclusive rights in Spain and Andorra to all 104 matches, the company announced Tuesday. One match per matchday will be free in Spain, and a free-to-air broadcaster will carry every Spain match, both semifinals and the final. Financial terms weren’t disclosed. It’s Netflix’s first broadcast of a major men’s international tournament in Spain. The streamer also holds the rights to the 2027 and 2031 Women’s World Cups. This deal covers Spain and Andorra only. US rights for 2030 are still up for grabs, with executives reportedly budgeting $1.5 billion to $2 billion, per CNBC.
