Spain just dropped a 2-0 masterclass on France.
It wasn’t pretty for the French. Not with Oyarzabal and Porro firing for La Roja. Now, all eyes turn to Sunday. The grand finale waits at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
But today is about the semifinals. England takes on Argentina. Old rivals. Heavy history. Jude Bellingham’s brace earlier in the tournament sent England forward after grinding out a 2-1 win over Haaland’s Norway. Messi’s squad had to sweat it out, dragging past a decimated Switzerland side thanks to a late Breel Embolo red card.
Every remaining match lands in the US on the Fox network. But you don’t need a cable box. Here is how you actually watch this.
Which service has exclusive World Cup 2025/2026 English rights?
Fox One holds the key.
Exclusive English-language broadcast rights sit with Fox Sports. If you want the commentary without paying for a bloated TV bundle, Fox One is your answer. It streams every single match live.
It’s the cheapest route for cord-cutters who only care about this tournament. If that sounds too simple, remember the backup options.
- YouTube TV : Carries both Fox and FS1 channels.
- Fubo : Same lineup, Fox and FS1 included.
- DirecTV Stream : Also bundles Fox and FS1 for live access.
- Hulu + Live TV : Another option for those already in the Disney ecosystem.
Don’t overthink the switch. Just pick one. The game starts on time regardless.
Why switch to Spanish commentary for Peacock access?
Some folks prefer the passion.
NBCUniversal holds the US rights for Spanish-language coverage. It’s not an afterthought. Telemundo will air 92 matches while Universo covers the rest.
Both feed directly into Peacock.
Here’s the kicker. Peacock isn’t just showing the feed. It’s offering Dolby Vision HDR video and Dolby Atmos audio. Better sound? Maybe. Better picture? Likely. If you have a high-end TV setup, this might be the technical choice over standard Fox streams.
Streaming isn’t just about watching. It’s about how it hits the senses.
How do I stream the World Cup when traveling abroad?
You hit geo-blocks hard when you leave the country.
Fox doesn’t want you watching in Berlin or Buenos Aires without paying their regional license. A VPN fixes this. It encrypts your traffic. It masks your IP. It makes your data look like it’s coming from a local US provider.
It also keeps prying ISPs from throttling your stream.
But tread carefully. Streaming platforms hate VPNs. Terms of Service vary wildly. ExpressVPN remains the sturdy choice here. Their 73% off 2-year plan drops the price to roughly $3.49 a month. Cheaper than most daily coffee habits.
Just check if Fox blocks detected VPN servers before you commit. Compliance matters. Don’t get logged out during extra time.
Where are the semifinal games taking place?
Location dictates timing. Time zones get messy.
Both big games kick off at 3 p.m. Eastern (12 p.m. Pacific).
Tuesday, July 14
- France vs. Spain : AT&T Stadium (Dallas/Arlington). Watch on Fox or Telemundo.
