The 2026 soccer schedule for all major soccer leagues on ESPN. Includes kick off times and TV listings for Premier League, MLS, LaLiga and more.
www.espn.comHere’s the latest on the World Cup schedule you asked about.
- The 2026 FIFA World Cup is scheduled to run from June 11 to July 19, 2026, across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with 104 matches total. This expands the format compared to 2022, featuring a group stage followed by knockout rounds through to the final.[3][6]
- Group stage matches are spread across 11 host cities in the U.S. (plus venues in Canada and Mexico), with fixtures typically set for daytime and evening windows to accommodate global TV audiences. Recent outlets list multiple group-stage matchups and kickoff times for various venues, though exact pairings and times vary by official release.[4][3]
- TV and streaming availability for specific fixtures depend on regional rights; major outlets like ESPN, CBS, Fox Sports, and local broadcasters typically carry World Cup games in the U.S., with some games assigned to streaming platforms. Expect a mix of FOX/Broadcast network and FS1/FS2 coverage for marquee games, and CBS/Sports platforms for others.[1][6][10]
Illustration: The schedule is built around a 39-day window with a staged progression: group stage (11–27 June), then knockout rounds (Round of 32 to final on July 19). This structure helps organize travel and broadcast planning across three countries.[3]
