2026 World Cup TV Rights Set in Spain

Spain has confirmed the TV broadcasting model for the 2026 World Cup, featuring a hybrid approach with DAZN showing all matches and RTVE broadcasting Spain's games on free-to-air channels.

The 2026 World Cup will be broadcast in Spain through a hybrid model that combines traditional television with digital streaming. All 104 matches of the first 48-team tournament will be available on DAZN, while RTVE will select key matches for free-to-air broadcast on La 1, Teledeporte, and RTVE Play.

RTVE's coverage will include all matches involving the Spanish national team, ensuring fans can follow their squad without a subscription. This broadcasting arrangement marks a significant shift in how the World Cup will be consumed in Spain, balancing accessibility with comprehensive coverage across platforms. newsbetting.cv
