Where to Watch FIFA World Cup 2026 matches on iPhone – FREE STREAMING OPTIONS

BBC iPlayer and ITVX (UK)

The BBC and ITV share full broadcast rights to the 2026 World Cup in the UK. Between BBC iPlayer and ITVX, every one of the 104 matches is available to stream free.

Both apps are on the App Store, both require a free account, and live streaming technically requires a valid UK TV license under broadcasting law.

Connect through FastestVPN to a UK server to access either app from outside the country.

SBS On Demand (Australia)

SBS holds full Australian rights and streams every match free through its app, available on the App Store. A free account is required.

If you are traveling abroad from Australia and already have a subscription to the platform, you will need a FastestVPN connection to an Australian server from elsewhere.

M6+ (France)

The M6+ app is free and ad-supported, available on the App Store, with a free account required. French viewers can stream the 2026 Coupe du Monde games on M6+.

CazéTV on YouTube (Brazil)

Brazil’s CazéTV holds official broadcast rights and streams every match live on YouTube with no geo-restriction applied anywhere in the world. Open the YouTube app on your iPhone, search for CazéTV, and you can watch live without a VPN or an account.

The only con is that commentary is in Portuguese, for non-speakers.

How to AirPlay the FIFA World Cup from iPhone to Your TV

AirPlay is the most seamless way to get the match from your iPhone onto a bigger screen. Here’s what you need to do:

• Make sure your iPhone and your Apple TV or smart TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
• Open the streaming app and start playing the match.
• Swipe down from the top-right corner of your iPhone to open Control Center, or look for the AirPlay icon directly inside the streaming app if it has one.
• Tap the AirPlay icon and select your TV from the list.
• The stream will begin playing on your TV.
