Streaming platform Netflix will broadcast all 104 matches of the 2030 FIFA World Cup in Spain and Andorra, the company announced on Tuesday.
‘(We) will offer all 104 matches of the world’s biggest football competition live,’ Netflix said in a statement.
Spain, the reigning champions, will co-host the tournament with Portugal and Morocco, while Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay will host matches to mark the centenary of the World Cup.
Under the agreement, one match per match-day will be available to watch free of charge in Spain, Netflix said.
A national free-to-air television channel in Spain will also broadcast all of the Spain’s matches and the final, along with other games, the company confirmed.
The deal marks another step in Netflix’s expansion into live sports as it competes with traditional broadcasters.
It will be the first time the subscription-based platform broadcasts the men’s World Cup.
Netflix already holds the rights to broadcast the 2027 and 2031 editions of the women’s World Cup in the United States and Canada.
