Netflix assures full 2030 World Cup broadcast in Spain and Andorra

Netflix announced on Tuesday the acquisition of the exclusive audiovisual rights to the 2030 World Cup for Spain and Andorra, and will guarantee live broadcast of the 104 matches that will be contested in the host countries.

Details of the agreement and coverage

The contract includes the broadcast of programmes with a genuinely Spanish focus before, during and after each match, as well as a daily recap on match days and additional content to build anticipation.

As part of the agreement, in Spain one match from each round will be available to watch for free, and a package will be offered to a national free‑to‑air television channel that will cover all matches played on Spanish soil, the two semi‑finals and the final.

Tournament context and Netflix’s presence

The 2030 World Cup will commemorate the centenary of the competition; Spain, the current world champion, will be one of the three host countries together with Morocco and Portugal, while Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay will host the centenary celebration matches.

Netflix also holds the audiovisual rights in the United States and Canada for the 2027 and 2031 editions of the FIFA Women’s World Cup, expanding its partnership with FIFA.

Bela Bajaria, chief content officer at Netflix, said that being present in the stadium when Spain lifted the trophy made her feel the passion and pride that she now wants to share with fans in Spain and Andorra.

Mattias Grafström, FIFA secretary‑general, expressed his satisfaction at strengthening the collaboration with Netflix and noted that the 2030 edition will be very special, aiming to bring football to as many viewers as possible.
