Netflix has obtained exclusive rights to air the complete 2030 FIFA World Cup live in Spain and Andorra. The service will provide coverage for every one of the tournament's 104 games, along with related programming before, during halftime, and after matches.
Under the terms of the deal, viewers in Spain can watch one game each matchday without charge. Another arrangement will see all of Spain's matches, plus the two semi-finals and the championship game, aired on a national free television channel. More information about this agreement will be shared nearer to the start of the competition.
Netflix chief content officer Bela Bajaria stated the company is dedicated to delivering the premier global sports event to supporters. FIFA Secretary General Mattias Grafström noted the event's cultural importance and the common aim of reaching viewers worldwide. The agreement also provides Netflix with rights to air the FIFA Women's World Cup in 2027 and 2031 for audiences in the United States and Canada.
The 2030 World Cup will be jointly hosted by Spain, Portugal and Morocco, with Spain as the reigning champion taking a prominent part. Netflix intends to offer a daily highlights program during the tournament and create supplementary World Cup content ahead of the event.
Leyton Orient's next fixture is at home against Blackpool on Saturday, 17 October.
