Where to Watch the 2026 World Cup in the USA
FOX and FS1 carry every match in English. Telemundo and Universo carry every match in Spanish. FOX broadcasts 70 of the 104 matches free over the air on its main network channel. The remaining 34 air on FS1. Telemundo airs 92 matches free over the air, and Universo carries the other 12.
For streaming, FOX One carries all 104 matches in 4K for $19.99 a month with a 7-day free trial. Peacock carries all 104 matches in Spanish from Telemundo for $10.99 a month. Tubi will stream the opening ceremony, the Mexico vs South Africa opener, and the USA vs Paraguay match free with no subscription. Those three high-profile broadcasts make the tournament accessible to anyone with a phone or smart TV.
How the Final Matchday Rule Works
On the last day of group play for each group, both remaining games kick off at the exact same time. This rule keeps standings fair and prevents teams from playing knowing what their rivals scored. The 2026 tournament has 12 paired final matchdays spread across June 24, 25, 26, and 27.
Watch parties on those days work best if you can switch between two screens. The PDF marks each final matchday with a gold badge so you can spot them at a glance.
Match Highlights Worth Circling on Your Schedule
The opener at Estadio Azteca on June 11 makes the building the only stadium in history to host three World Cup openings. The previous two were in 1970 and 1986.
Tunisia vs Japan on June 20 at Estadio BBVA in Monterrey will be the 1,000th match in FIFA World Cup history. For Eastern Time viewers, that kickoff lands at 12 AM on June 21.
USA vs Paraguay on June 12 at SoFi Stadium is the USMNT opener and kicks off at 9 PM ET. The match airs free on Tubi in 4K, which is the first time any World Cup has been free to stream in 4K in the United States.
FIFA World Cup 2026 Printable Schedule FAQ
Is the FIFA World Cup 2026 printable schedule really free?
Yes. The PDFs on this page and on the CT and PT pages are completely free to download, print, and share. No email signup, no account, no fees. Print them at home, send them to friends, or use them at a watch party. The only thing we ask is that you do not strip the PrintablePedia.com footer when you republish them.
What time zone is the schedule in?
The default version on this page uses Eastern Daylight Time, the official FIFA reference time zone. If you live in Chicago, Texas, or Mexico City, grab the Central Time version. If you live on the West Coast, grab the Pacific Time version. For Mountain Time, subtract 2 hours from any ET kickoff. For British Summer Time, add 5 hours to ET.
Does the printable include knockout round matches?
This schedule covers the 72 group stage matches from June 11 through June 27. The Round of 32, Round of 16, quarterfinals, semifinals, third-place playoff, and the Final are not on this page. Those 32 knockout matches happen between June 28 and July 19. For the full knockout bracket, see our World Cup 2026 Bracket page.
Is the schedule accurate, and can I print it on one page?
Yes on both. Every kickoff time and venue is verified against FIFA, ESPN, NBC Sports, and Yahoo Sports. The PDF fits on one A4 or US Letter page when you print at 100% scale. Skip the “fit to page” option, since that can shrink the text. The file is a fixed printable, not an editable form, so use the blank notes box at the bottom for any handwritten notes after printing.
Why are some matches on different days in CT or PT?
Three matches kick off at midnight Eastern Time. In Central Time those games actually start at 11 PM on the previous calendar day. In Pacific Time they start at 9 PM on the previous calendar day. The CT and PT PDFs list those matches on the day you would actually watch them locally, not on the official ET date.
Print Your Schedule and Plan Your Tournament
The 2026 World Cup is one of those rare events where everyone you know is paying attention at the same time. The FIFA World Cup 2026 printable schedule turns 17 packed days of football into something you can stick on the fridge, pin to the office wall, or hand out at a watch party.
Final tip: Print the version that matches the time zone where you will actually watch the games, not the time zone where the stadium sits. Most US-coast matches play locally on Pacific or Central Time but list officially in ET. Picking the PDF that matches your couch saves you the math every single day for 17 straight days.
