World Cup 2026: how to watch in Spain, free-to-air matches on La 1 | OneFootball

The 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico is under way, with 48 teams and free-to-air coverage in Spain on RTVE’s La 1 and RTVE Play. El Periódico Mediterráneo reports that the broadcaster will screen a daily standout match and every Spain game.

It will be the final World Cup for Leo Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Luka Modric and Neymar Jr. Spain arrive as European champions under Luis de la Fuente and are among the favourites. Much will hinge on 19-year-old Lamine Yamal’s form.

La 1’s open schedule includes Spain v Cape Verde on 15 June at 18:00 h, Spain v Saudi Arabia on 21 June at 18:00 h, and Uruguay v Spain on 27 June at 02:00 h. Other listed ties include Mexico v South Africa on 11 June at 21:00 h and England v Croatia on 17 June at 22:00 h.

RTVE Play will run dedicated tournament coverage and its TDP Play hub will group live streams, highlights, full matches, goals, best moments and related programmes. Teledeporte will add news and analysis, although the main free-to-air broadcasts are on La 1 and RTVE Play.

To watch every match in Spain, DAZN is the paid option. The platform will carry all 104 fixtures live and on demand via a channel produced by GRUP MEDIAPRO.
