Spain and Belgium collide in a 2026 FIFA World Cup quarterfinal on Friday, July 10, with kickoff at 3 p.m. ET at Los Angeles Stadium. U.S. viewers can watch the match on FOX (English) and Telemundo (Spanish), and the game is available through a range of streaming services.
Where to watch
Broadcasters and streaming platforms are sharing distribution for this knockout match, reflecting how live sports now span traditional television and newer streaming services. The primary options called out for U.S. audiences include:
- FOX — English-language broadcast.
- Telemundo — Spanish-language broadcast; Spanish streams are also available on Peacock.
- Streaming packages that carry the needed channels such as YouTube TV and DirecTV, plus Peacock for Spanish-language streams.
Streaming details and viewer notes
Many viewers who no longer subscribe to traditional cable are relying on live-TV streaming services. One widely used option is YouTube TV, which bundles the channels required to watch World Cup matches, including FOX and Telemundo. The service, like other live streams, can introduce a slight delay compared with over-the-air broadcasts — a factor for viewers who follow real-time developments or social feeds during matches.
FOX has also expanded its direct-to-consumer offerings; FOX One provides access to FOX channels and sports outlets including FS1 and FS2 for subscribers. At launch, FOX One listed a base monthly price and a free trial window that could let viewers catch live matches without immediately subscribing.
Why it matters to U.S. viewers
Quarterfinals concentrate global attention and spotlight the U.S. broadcast and streaming landscape. For American audiences, the match is notable not only for its sporting stakes — elimination from the tournament — but for how it underscores the continuing shift in how live international sports are consumed. Networks and streamers are balancing language rights, platform exclusives and subscription models as they try to reach large, diverse audiences.
| Match | Kickoff (ET) | Primary U.S. Broadcast | Spanish Stream |

| Spain vs. Belgium (Quarterfinal) | 3 p.m. | FOX | Telemundo / Peacock |
For viewers seeking alternatives to traditional pay-TV, short-term trials and ad-supported tiers can provide access without long-term commitments. Services and trial offers change frequently, so fans are advised to confirm availability and any trial details before game time.
As the tournament advances, these distribution choices will matter not only for individual games but for how audiences nationwide experience a global sporting event hosted across North America.
