With the expanded 2026 FIFA World Cup featuring 104 matches across five weeks, fans unable to watch games live have access to a wide range of replay and highlight options in the United States and international markets.
In the United States, FOX One serves as the primary platform for English-language full-match replays, making every match available on demand after broadcast. The service also includes features designed for viewers who wish to avoid score spoilers before watching delayed coverage.
Streaming providers including Fubo, YouTube TV and DirecTV Stream also offer access to FOX’s World Cup broadcasts and cloud DVR functionality, allowing subscribers to record and replay matches at their convenience.
For Spanish-language audiences, Peacock provides on-demand access to broadcasts from Telemundo and Universo, giving viewers an alternative option for full-match coverage.
Fans seeking highlights can turn to FIFA+, which offers extended match highlights shortly after the final whistle without requiring a subscription. The official FIFA YouTube channel, along with broadcaster-operated channels, also provides match clips, analysis and tournament coverage throughout the competition.
YouTube has been designated a FIFA Preferred Platform for the tournament, enabling approved broadcasters to distribute selected World Cup content, including highlights and other digital programming, subject to regional rights agreements.
Outside the United States, viewers in several major markets have access to replay services through local rights holders and streaming platforms. Broadcasters in countries including the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia are providing on-demand coverage alongside live match broadcasts.
With matches taking place across multiple time zones in North America, replay and on-demand viewing options are expected to play a significant role in how fans follow the tournament.
