How to Stream Soccer in the U.S. (Premier League, MLS, Champions League, Liga MX, World Cup 2026)

• Premier League: NBCUniversal through 2027-28; marquee matches on NBC, more on USA Network, about 175 Peacock exclusives. One 2026 guide reports USA Network matches no longer stream on Peacock after the Versant spin-off; treat USA matches as uncertain until confirmed.
• Champions League: Paramount+ streams every match through 2029-30 plus Europa and Conference League; CBS and CBS Sports Network show selections.
• MLS: Apple TV includes all 510 matches now that Season Pass is retired; FOX and FS1 carry 34 games in 2026, the final year of that deal. La Liga lives on ESPN+ with selections on ESPN, ESPN Deportes, and ABC.
• Bundesliga 2026-27: ESPN's deal ended; Versant carries 30+ matches on USA Network with the rest free on Fandango, per press reports (no league release found).
• Liga MX is sold club by club: TelevisaUnivision holds most, Telemundo and Peacock have Chivas home matches, FOX has Monterrey and reportedly others, and CBS Sports' English sublicense is unconfirmed for 2026-27. Confirm your club's broadcaster first.

• Streaming-only services hold the deepest rights: Peacock (Premier League), Paramount+ (Champions League), Apple TV (MLS), each far cheaper than a live TV plan.
• Live TV earns its place for several competitions: YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and DIRECTV STREAM carry NBC, USA, FOX, FS1, CBS, and ESPN.
• Sling Blue has USA, FS1, and FOX in select markets but no CBS.
• Fubo has the strongest Spanish-language and international lineup (beIN, FS1, FS2, NBC, ESPN; Telemundo restored June 2026) but its USA Network carriage after the Versant spin-off is unconfirmed. See live TV vs. on-demand.

• Almost no in-market blackouts; Apple TV's MLS coverage has none.
• Broadcast-network matches depend on your live TV provider carrying NBC, FOX, or CBS in your ZIP; Sling Blue has NBC and FOX only in select metros and never CBS.
• Spanish-language: YouTube TV's Spanish plan (Univision, UniMas, TUDN, Telemundo, FOX Deportes); Fubo's Latino plan and Telemundo; Peacock's Telemundo streams; ViX (not ranked). Hulu + Live TV, Sling, and DIRECTV STREAM Spanish packs could not be verified; confirm with the provider.

Lowest recurring monthly price, verified Oct 12, 2026. Paramount+ needs Premium for live CBS; Peacock needs Premium for sports; DIRECTV STREAM's CBS Sports Network is on Ultimate.
