Netflix secures broadcast rights for 2030 World Cup matches in Spain and Andorra

Netflix has obtained the rights to broadcast the 2030 FIFA World Cup in Spain and the neighboring principality of Andorra. The agreement allows the streaming service to air live matches and related content across its platform in both territories.

The deal covers the full tournament, which is scheduled to take place in South America, and includes the rights to stream all matches, highlights, and ancillary programming. Netflix will be able to offer the coverage to its subscribers in the two markets without the need for a traditional television broadcast partner.

The acquisition marks the first time the streaming giant has secured rights to a major international football event in these European markets. It follows a broader trend of streaming platforms expanding into live sports, seeking to attract new subscribers with high‑profile events.

Details of the financial terms of the agreement have not been disclosed. The rights are limited to Spain and Andorra, with no indication that the arrangement extends to other European countries.

Netflix’s entry into the World Cup market in these regions is expected to increase competition for existing broadcasters, which have traditionally held exclusive rights to major football tournaments. The company plans to integrate the World Cup coverage into its existing user interface, offering both live streams and on‑demand replays.
