World Cup to be shown on new platform in groundbreaking deal – but United Kingdom miss out

Netflix have landed exclusive rights to broadcast the 2030 World Cup in Spain and Andorra. The worldwide streaming giants will broadcast all 104 matches of the tournament , including both semi-finals and the final. Such a deal marks a significant progression in how football is aired to fans as television companies have dominated the market. With Spain being a co-host and the reigning champions, Netflix said they will offer a ‘distinctly Spanish perspective’ on their shows. Fans in the country and its neighbours Andorra will be able to watch one match per matchday for free on the digital platform.
