Netflix says it will stream all 104 matches of the 2030 FIFA World Cup live in Spain and Andorra. The announcement covers those two markets; it does not establish where the tournament will be shown elsewhere. Viewers in Spain have a confirmed free-access provision, although key distribution details remain open.

Which matches will be free in Spain?

Netflix says one match on each matchday will be available free in Spain. It will also offer a national free-to-air broadcaster a package containing every Spain match, both semifinals and the final.

The broadcaster has not been named. Netflix has not announced pricing or access terms for the other matches either, so the exact viewing arrangements beyond the confirmed provisions are still unknown.

What is confirmed for Andorra?

Andorra is included in Netflix’s announced rights to carry all 104 matches live. The promise of one free match per matchday and the proposed free-to-air package, however, were stated specifically for Spain. Netflix has not described an equivalent free-access plan for Andorra.

A World Cup across six host countries

Spain, Morocco and Portugal are the main hosts of the centenary tournament, with commemorative matches in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. Netflix plans pre-match, halftime and post-match programs, plus a daily roundup on matchdays.

For fans in Spain and Andorra, the remaining question is how the Spanish free-access provisions will work in practice and what options will be confirmed for Andorra. More clarity should follow when Netflix names its free-to-air partner and publishes the access arrangements.
