Quick Answer

Which channel should you check first?

In the United States, start with FOX or FS1 for English TV, FOX One for English streaming, Tubi for the listed free events, and Telemundo, Universo or Peacock for Spanish coverage. In the UK, start with the BBC/ITV match split, then use BBC iPlayer or ITVX for streaming.

U.S. EnglishFOX, FS1, FOX One and ET/PT times

Use the U.S. schedule when you need Eastern and Pacific kickoff times before choosing the English route.

U.S. FreeTubi for selected early events

Tubi helps with the free early items FOX has named, but it is not a full 104-match replacement.

U.S. SpanishTelemundo, Universo and Peacock

Peacock is the simple starting point if Spanish-language streaming is what you need.

UKBBC, ITV and BST kickoff times

Use UK-specific pages when you need local kickoff times, England fixtures and the BBC/ITV route.

CanadaTSN, RDS and Canadian time zones

Use the Canada schedule when ET, PT, Atlantic or Newfoundland time matters more than the full match order.

MexicoViX, selected open TV and CDMX times

Use the Mexico schedule when Mexico City time, Group A results and remaining Mexico fixtures are the real planning problem.

BrazilCazéTV, YouTube and BRT times

Use Brazil-specific pages when you need local kickoff times and the Brazilian digital route.

Opening day TV schedule

Opening day is now a replay and recap reference, but it is still useful because the ceremony and Mexico vs South Africa had the clearest U.S. free-streaming information. For the full order of June 11, use the opening day schedule.
