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.)

If you’re Sling-curious, here’s what you need to know if you want to watch the 2026 FIFA World Cup and find out which plan is right for you.
