ASTANA  –  Netflix has secured exclusive rights to broadcast all 104 matches of the 2030 FIFA World Cup in Spain and Andorra, with coverage planned across both markets, a wire service reported. The tournament will mark the 100th anniversary of the World Cup. Spain will co-host the competition with Morocco and Portugal, while cente­nary matches will also be held in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. According to the company’s announcement, Netflix plans to provide live coverage of all matches, along­side pre-match, halftime and post-match shows, a daily matchday roundup and programming in the lead-up to the tourna­ment. Under the agreement, one match per matchday will be available free of charge on Netflix in Spain. A package of matches, in­cluding every Spain match, both semi-finals and the final, will also be made available to a national free-to-air broadcaster. Further details of Netflix’s partnership with a free-to-air provider will be announced closer to the tournament. The deal expands Netf­lix’s partnership with FIFA. The stream­ing platform also holds broadcast rights to the FIFA Women’s World Cups in 2027 and 2031 in the United States and Can­ada. Netflix Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria said the agreement would bring every match to fans in Spain and Andor­ra, highlighting the significance of Spain hosting the tournament in 2030. FIFA Secretary General Mattias Grafström said the partnership aimed to bring fans clos­er to the game and make the tournament accessible to as many people as possible. Netflix’s live sports portfolio also in­cludes NFL games, Major League Baseball, WWE programming, and major boxing and mixed martial arts events.
