The agreement covers every match in those two territories. Netflix’s U.S. and Canadian World Cup rights concern the women’s tournaments in 2027 and 2031.

Netflix has secured exclusive rights to show the 2030 men’s World Cup in Spain and Andorra, expanding its live sports business in two European markets.

The agreement covers all 104 matches, Reuters reported Tuesday. Financial terms were not disclosed. Netflix says its coverage will include pregame, halftime and postgame programming, plus a daily matchday roundup.

The tournament runs from June 8 to July 21, 2030. Spain, Portugal and Morocco are the main hosts, with centenary matches also scheduled in South America, according to Netflix’s announcement.

The Spain package includes free-to-air provisions: one match per matchday, Spain’s matches, both semifinals and the final will also be available free to air, Reuters reported. A partner for that coverage has not been named.

The territory distinction matters for North American viewers. This announcement does not assign Netflix the 2030 men’s tournament in the United States or Canada. Its separate FIFA agreement covers the 2027 and 2031 Women’s World Cups in those two countries, with English and French coverage planned for Canada.
