Tubi has launched a free streaming hub dedicated to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will include live 4K coverage of the United States Men's National Team's opening match. The free service, owned by Fox Corporation, rolled out the 2026 FIFA World Cup FOX Hub on May 18, 2026.
This new destination is accessible from Tubi's homepage and works across connected TVs, web browsers, and mobile devices. It requires no subscription. The hub is designed to change and grow as the tournament progresses, match by match and week by week. It will feature sections for live coverage, highlights, creator commentary, player interviews, and expert predictions.
What live matches will Tubi stream?
Tubi's most significant live offering is the simulcast of two tournament matches in 4K resolution. The service will broadcast Mexico versus South Africa on June 11, 2026. The following day, June 12, 2026, it will carry the United States Men's National Team's crucial opening group stage fixture against Paraguay. Tubi will also simulcast the tournament's opening ceremonies live in 4K.
Beyond these live events, the hub will provide a wide array of video content. This includes match cutdowns, highlights, select full replays, and daily recaps. A dedicated 24/7 feed will stream FOX Sports' live digital original programming and a continuous loop of best-of-show highlights.
What original shows are featured?
A major part of the hub's appeal is its slate of Tubi Originals created for the tournament. 'DESTINATION WORLD CUP 2026' is a docuseries that follows players from three different nations, including USMNT midfielder Weston McKennie. The hub also features 'THE OTHER FOOTBALL', a weekly vodcast series with FOX Sports personalities Rob Gronkowski and Jameis Winston that will air throughout the World Cup.
Premium sports entertainment includes imported and archival content. Viewers can watch 'Twenty Twenty Six', a six-part BBC comedy series starring Hugh Bonneville. There is also 'Summer of '94', a FOX series looking back at the 1994 USMNT. Analysis comes from 'Alexi Lalas' State of the Union', a FOX Sports show led by the former USMNT defender and co-host David Mosse. A trio of FOX Sports roundtable discussions will feature other former USMNT coaches and players.
What creator content is available?
Tubi is incorporating digital-first creator series to attract a younger audience. 'DEESTROYING THE PITCH' is a competition series featuring popular YouTube personality Deestroying. Another series, 'JESSER'S ULTIMATE KICK OFF', stars Jesse 'Jesser' Riedel. The hub also includes 'How to Win the World Cup', a talkSPORT series hosted by comedian Matt Forde with guests like former players Emmanuel Petit, Kléberson, Stuart Pearce, and Brad Friedel.
Samuel Harowitz, a Tubi executive, explained the programming philosophy. "The World Cup is one of the greatest sporting events on earth, and its stories extend far beyond the pitch," Harowitz said. "The FIFA World Cup™ FOX Hub is programmed around everything that surrounds it."
How does this fit Tubi's strategy?
The launch represents a major content play for the ad-supported streaming service. Tubi was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in San Francisco. It operates as part of the Tubi Media Group, a division of Fox Corporation. The service has grown to over 100 million monthly active users. Securing high-profile sports-related content like the World Cup hub is a method to attract and retain those viewers.
Deirdre Hesseldieck of Fox Corporation connected the initiative to the tournament's history. "Nearly a century ago, the World Cup was born out of a desire to bring the world together through sport," Hesseldieck said. "That mission has never been more relevant, and technology has never been better positioned to extend it."
For USMNT fans, the hub provides a central, free location to follow the team's journey. Alongside the live match against Paraguay, they can follow McKennie's story in the original docuseries and get analysis from program alumni like Alexi Lalas. Fans can track the team's progress and plan their viewing around the full fixtures schedule. The hub's evolution throughout the tournament means content will be refreshed constantly, offering new highlights and analysis after every USMNT performance.
