    How to watch the World Cup 2026 on ITV

    ITV is set to show 51 matches throughout this summer's tournament in Canada, Mexico, and the United States.

    The majority of games will be broadcast live on ITV1, though other channels will be used for the final round of group stage matches when games kick off simultaneously.

    Viewers can also tune in to watch on ITVX on a range of platforms, including laptops, mobiles, and tablets.

    All 104 games at World Cup 2026 will be broadcast free-to-air, with BBC and ITV splitting the coverage for UK fans – though both will show the final.
