Coming 32 years after USA 94, a home World Cup is quite literally a once-in-a-generation event. That World Cup 2026 will also serve as a swansong for all-time greats Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, just as Lamine Yamal and Erling Haaland step onto the stage for the first time, makes it feel like a particularly momentous one.

Although USA wildly exceeded expectations to reach the knockouts all those years ago, this summer, under the tutelage of Mauricio Pochettino and with a squad brimming with the talents of Christian Pulisic, Haji Wright, Folarin Balogun, Weston McKennie and Ricardo Pepi, reaching the last eight — the last four, even? — feels perfectly credible for the co-hosts.

Every game is set to be shown across FOX and FS1 this summer, so if you don't already have the channels on cable, you'll need a streaming alternative. Fubo is one of our favorites. Not only does it carry both channels, but it's way cheaper than cable, too.

It also comes with a free trial, a hefty discount on your first month, unlimited cloud DVR storage and a multi-view feature that lets you tune into more than one game at a time, something that'll come in handy during the final round of group-stage fixtures, which all kick off at the same time.

Read on as we explain how to watch World Cup 2026 on Fubo, including details of the cheapest Fubo plan that carries both FOX and FS1.

Is Fubo free?

Fubo requires a subscription, but most of its plans — including Sports + News, Pro and Elite — come with a free trial.

That means you can try Fubo out before you pay a cent. During the free trial, you can even switch plans and pile on Fubo's various add-ons.

If you decide it's not for you, just cancel your subscription before the free trial ends and you won't be charged at all (you'll receive a reminder email the day before you're due to be charged).
