Netflix has secured exclusive broadcasting rights for all 104 matches of the FIFA World Cup 2030 in Andorra and Spain, the platform announced Tuesday in a press release.
The deal encompasses the centenary tournament, scheduled from 8 June to 21 July 2030, with primary hosts Spain, Portugal, and Morocco, alongside three commemorative matches in Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay to honour the 1930 inaugural event there. Netflix will provide live streams of every game, plus pre-match shows, post-game analysis, daily recaps, and additional build-up content.
This represents Netflix's most significant step into live football coverage in the region, building on its existing sports portfolio that includes the women's World Cups in 2027 and 2031 in the US and Canada, as well as NFL, MLB, WWE, and boxing events.
In Spain, free-to-air broadcasts will include one match per matchday, all Spain national team fixtures, both semifinals, and the final, supplied to an unnamed public broadcaster. The announcement does not confirm whether these open-access options will extend to Andorra, despite the Principat being part of the territorial rights agreement. Andorran authorities have provided no additional details on local viewing arrangements.
FIFA Secretary General Mattias Grafström expressed support for the partnership, highlighting its potential to reach fans across both countries and boost overall audiences. Netflix content director Bela Bajaria described the tournament's historic significance and football's role in connecting people worldwide.
