Access all the action for just $1 thanks to a Walmart+ trial

Outside US? Watch steams from anywhere – Norton VPN (try 60-days)

Soccer fans in the US are entitled to feel somewhat aggrieved. 2026 is the first time that the country has hosted the FIFA World Cup in more than 30 years. And yet, unlike in countries like the UK, Ireland, Australia and Brazil, there are no ways to watch free World Cup action if you're located within the borders of the co-hosts.

Here's the trick: you can watch every single one of the remaining games (including all of USMNT's matches) for the next best thing – just $1.

The only catch? You'll need to know your 'free kicks' and 'hydration breaks' from your 'tiros libres' and 'pausas hidratación' as the commentary and analysis will be in Spanish.

Keep reading to see how to get how to get this $1 World Cup streaming deal – and how to access Peacock from anywhere with a VPN.

Telemundo and Universo are the TV channels carrying official Spanish-language coverage of the 2026 World Cup in the US.

For those watching online, the Peacock streaming service is showing all 104 games with that Spanish-language feed of the Copa Mundial. You'll need at least the Premium plan, which costs

10.99 a month or

109.99 a year.

However, you can also get access to Peacock Premium by signing up to a 30-day trial to Walmart+, which costs $1!

And, with less than a month to go until the final, that means you can watch all remaining games at the 2026 World Cup for just $1.

All matches will be available to stream live and on-demand on Peacock for a limited time, with full-match replays made available shortly after each match ends.

Traveling outside of the US? Use a VPN to watch Peacock vis Walmart+ from overseas.

Peacock Premium's vast and varied online catalog of TV shows and films combine with live sports and linear TV coverage meaning it takes a rightful place in our rundown of the best streaming services.

As well as hosting all episodes of NBC classics such as The Office, 30 Rock, Saturday Night Live and Friday Night Lights, there's a litany of Peacock Originals to enjoy like Poker Face, Ted, The Paper and Ponies. Plus, it's the home of all things Love Island USA.

Premium members can stream everything that goes out on NBC, Bravo, Dateline, Sports Now, Law&Crime and loads more 24/7 channels.

And, in terms of live sport, Peacock shows some of the biggest events from around the world. Outside of the 2026 World Cup, it also had blanket coverage of the Summer and Winter Olympics and shows every match of the 2026/27 Premier League season.

Over the last 12 months, it has shown the likes of the Super Bowl LX, World Athletics Championships, Six Nations rugby, Tour de France cycling, Preakness Stakes horse racing, World Darts Championship and much more.

As we say, there are luckier soccer fans in other parts of the world who get to simply watch World Cup matches online for free. The following countries and streamers are showing all matches without cost:
