Netflix has secured exclusive broadcast rights for the 2030 World Cup in Spain, with some matches shown free-to-air.
Netflix has secured exclusive broadcast rights in Spain for the 2030 World Cup, which will be co-hosted by Spain, Portugal and Morocco. The tournament will also feature three opening matches in South America, making it the first World Cup to be held across multiple continents. The platform will stream all 104 matches live.
Under the agreement, one match per matchday will be available for free in Spain. Additionally, a package of matches including every Spain match, both semi-finals and the final will be made available on a national free-to-air broadcaster, ensuring broad accessibility for audiences across the country. The financial value of the deal was not disclosed.
This marks Netflix's initial major contract for a men's World Cup, building on its 2024 deal with Fifa for US rights to the Women's World Cup in 2027 and 2031. Fifa general secretary Mattias Grafstrom said he was 'pleased to build on our partnership with Netflix', adding that 'our shared ambition is to bring fans closer to the game and enable as many people as possible to share in the excitement of the competition'. Fifa typically selects public broadcasters for World Cup rights to maximise audiences.
