Editor’s Choice

Watch the World Cup Final Halftime Show with DirecTV Stream

– 5-day free trial
– Includes local networks and 90+ channels

DirecTV Stream offers a five-day free trial, which means you can watch the halftime show at no cost. All four plans include Fox, with the Entertainment one costing the least ($59.99 for the first month and $89.99 per month after your first month). If you’re shopping on a budget, though, we recommend the MySports package, which lets you watch over 20 channels like ESPN, MLB Network, NFL Network, Fox Sports, and more. It also comes with an ESPN Unlimited subscription for a slightly more affordable $49.99 per month for the first two months (and $64.99 per month after that).

We tested every streaming service with a free trial, and DirecTV came out on top as our editor’s pick. With its free trial and massive selection of channels and local networks, it’s a great choice for watching TV shows and sports events.

Lowest Price

Watch the World Cup Final Halftime Show with Sling TV

– No free trial
– Daily, weekend, and weekly passes
– 40+ channels

Sling TV offers flexible viewing with four plans that will let you watch the 2026 World Cup Final. Sling Blue (best for news and entertainment), and Sling Orange & Blue (biggest selection and great value) both give you access to Fox One, which is FOX’s standalone streaming service that gives you access to its live TV channels and on-demand content. Sling Blue costs $45.99 per month, while Sling Orange & Blue costs $60.99 per month.

If you’re on a tight budget, Sling TV offers something the many others don’t: curated plans. Sling Select and Sling Essentials & Select also secure you access to Fox One. The former is the cheapest option on this list, coming out to $19.99 per month, while the latter is still affordable at $34.99 per month.

Most Variety

Watch the World Cup Final Halftime Show with Hulu + Live TV

– 3-day free trial
– Large library of shows, movies, and Hulu Originals

The Hulu Live TV Only plan ($88.99 per month) and the Hulu + Live TV plan ($89.99 per month after three free days) are your most affordable options if you want to stream the halftime show through Hulu. The price difference is so small, but the better option is the Hulu + Live TV plan because it gives you access to Hulu’s streaming TV library (ad-supported) on top of live TV with over 75 top channels. Although Hulu + Live TV has some of the higher prices on this list, you’re paying for more variety, so it can be worth the splurge depending on your streaming needs. The latter also gives you Hulu + Live TV, Disney+, and ESPN Select, if you’re after more variety in a bundle deal.

Best Flexible Pick

Watch the World Cup Final Halftime Show with Fubo

– No free trial right now
– Includes local networks and 200+ channels

Fubo is another stellar option for streaming all of the World Cup Final and festivities because of its several plan options with Fox. Choose between the Core and Ultra plans, with the former featuring 202 channels and costing $79.98 for your first month and $104.98 after that. For those trying to cut costs even more, don’t sleep on Fubo’s sports-specific plans: Fubo Sports (Sports + News) offers access to 30 channels and starts at $54.99 for your first month and then $64.99 per month after that.

Spanish Language Option

Watch the World Cup Final Halftime Show with Peacock

– No free trial

As noted above, you can watch the game and halftime show in Spanish live on Telemundo via Peacock. While the streamer sadly does not offer a free trial, you can still get a subscription starting at a relatively low monthly price of $7.99 ($79.99 annually) for the Select plan.
