Netflix Secures Exclusive 2030 World Cup Broadcast Rights in Spain

Netflix has acquired exclusive broadcast rights in Spain for the 2030 World Cup, with a provision for a free-to-air public broadcaster to show daily games.

  • Netflix will stream all 104 matches live for the 48-team tournament in Spain.
  • The deal includes a commitment for one match per matchday to be available for free in Spain.
  • A package of key matches, including all Spain games, both semi-finals, and the final, will be broadcast on a national free-to-air channel.

Netflix has secured exclusive broadcast rights in Spain for the 2030 World Cup, signing a deal on Tuesday. This agreement allows a free-to-air public broadcaster to show daily games, including those featuring the defending champions.

The streaming platform confirmed it will stream all 104 matches live during the 48-team tournament. Spain will co-host the event with Portugal and Morocco, following three opening games in South America.

This marks Netflix’s first major contract for a men’s World Cup, building on a 2024 deal with Fifa for US rights to the Women’s World Cup in 2027 and 2031. The financial details of the Spanish deal were not disclosed, though Spanish rights for the 2026 edition were reportedly acquired by RTVE for 55 million euros.

As part of the agreement, Netflix stated that one match per matchday will be available for free in Spain. Additionally, a package of matches, including every Spain game, both semi-finals, and the final, will be made available for broadcast on a national free-to-air channel.

What this means for you: If you are in Spain, you will be able to watch some 2030 World Cup matches for free on a national broadcaster, while all 104 games will be available via Netflix.
