Netflix locks exclusive 2030 World Cup rights for Spain and Andorra

The streaming giant Netflix has finalized an agreement granting it exclusive rights to broadcast every match of the 2030 FIFA World Cup within Spain and Andorra. This deal encompasses tournament-focused programming, marking a continued expansion of the platform’s involvement in major live sporting events.

Scope of the broadcasting deal

The centenary edition of the tournament is scheduled to take place from June 8 through July 21, 2030. This iteration commemorates 100 years since the inaugural FIFA World Cup, which was hosted by Uruguay.

Spain, Portugal, and Morocco serve as the primary hosts for the competition. Additionally, three South American nations will each stage a special match dedicated to the centenary celebrations.

Programming beyond live matches

Netflix’s coverage strategy extends past simple match streams. The service intends to produce pre-match, halftime, and post-match shows, alongside a daily highlights program available on matchdays. Further additional programming is planned ahead of the tournament’s start.

The disclosed terms for this specific announcement cover only Spain and Andorra, with no broader viewing-rights details included.

Prior women's football agreements

This latest pact follows Netflix’s previously announced exclusive rights to the 2027 and 2031 FIFA Women’s World Cups in the United States and Canada. Broadcasts for those tournaments will be accessible in English and Spanish in the US, and in English and French in Canada.

Netflix is also scheduled to stream the draw for the 2027 Women’s World Cup on December 11.
