Netflix has secured exclusive broadcasting rights for the 2030 FIFA Men’s World Cup in Spain and Andorra, bringing all 104 matches of the tournament to its streaming platform as the company expands its presence in live sports.

The agreement marks Netflix’s entry into broadcasting a major men’s international football tournament in Spain, where traditional television broadcasters have played a central role in showing major sporting events. The financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed.

According to Brandspur Brand News, the streaming giant plans to provide live coverage of every match, alongside pre-match, half-time and post-match programmes tailored to Spanish audiences. It will also offer daily highlights on matchdays and additional content ahead of the competition.

The 2030 tournament will mark 100 years since the inaugural World Cup, held in Uruguay in 1930. Spain will co-host the competition with Portugal and Morocco, while Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay are scheduled to stage special matches to commemorate the centenary.

Despite securing exclusive streaming rights, Netflix’s agreement includes provisions for free-to-air television coverage in Spain. One match per matchday will be available free, while a package featuring every Spain match, both semi-finals and the final will be offered to a national free-to-air broadcaster. Further details of the broadcasting arrangement are expected closer to the tournament.

The deal strengthens Netflix’s growing investment in live sports, an area in which streaming platforms are competing for major events to attract and retain audiences. The company also holds broadcasting rights for the 2027 and 2031 FIFA Women’s World Cups in the United States and Canada. Its wider sports portfolio includes programming and live events involving the NFL, Major League Baseball, WWE and combat sports.

For football fans in Spain and Andorra, the agreement means Netflix will become the primary destination for live coverage of the 2030 men’s tournament. Viewers in other countries, including Nigeria, are not covered by the Spain-and-Andorra deal, and their access will depend on the broadcasting rights arrangements applicable in their respective markets.

The agreement represents a significant step in Netflix’s sports strategy, extending its role beyond on-demand entertainment into one of football’s biggest global competitions.
