How to watch the 2026 World Cup with Sling TV: Channels, schedule, and streaming deals

The 2026 FIFA World Cup runs from June 11 through July 19 and every match of the tournament will be televised on either FOX or FS1. If you’re looking for a low-cost cable alternative so you can tune in to every match without overpaying, Sling is one of our favorite streaming services that lets you choose a plan with the channels you want most, so you don’t pay for what you won’t watch. With a Sling Select plan, you can get both Fox and FS1 and pay as little as $19.99/month, far less than you’d pay for most other streamers or even a basic cable plan. (And if you pre-pay for your first three months, that price goes down to just $16.67 per month, or $50 total.)
