ITV’s coverage, when applicable, streams via ITVX, which is also free to access with a registered account.

Other Major Markets

Italy: RAI, Italy’s public broadcaster, holds free-to-air World Cup rights. Coverage is streamed live on RaiPlay, which is free to access with a registered account.
Romania: ProTV is the primary rights holder for the World Cup in Romania, with coverage also available via Antena 1 for selected matches. The 03:00 EEST kickoff on Tuesday 23 June 2026 puts this squarely in the early hours for Romanian viewers.

Streaming Without a Subscription
Viewers travelling abroad or living outside the listed broadcast territories may encounter geo-blocked streams. A VPN can route your connection through a country where a free-to-air stream — such as BBC iPlayer or RTVE — is available to domestic users. This is a technical reality worth noting, though users should review the terms of service of any platform before using one.
FIFA does not currently operate a free live-streaming service for World Cup matches equivalent to UEFA.tv. Highlights are made available on FIFA’s official YouTube channel and social media platforms after matches conclude, but full live coverage requires a rights-holding broadcaster in your territory.
