If you're looking for how to watch Canada vs Qatar in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, read on – and don't forget to check out our guide on how to watch all the World Cup matches for free too.
The Group B clash between Canada vs Qatar takes place on 19 June at the astonishing-looking BC Place Vancouver, which hosted the final of the FIFA Women's World Cup in 2015. It's the first time the two sides have competed against one another in a World Cup match.
This is Canada's third World Cup appearance and Canada is one of the co-hosts of the 2026 FIFA World Cup; Qatar hosted in 2022 and this is their second time at the global finals.
As a co-host Canada didn't have to qualify for this World Cup but they have been playing several friendlies, of which they've only lost once: victories have included Uzbekistan, Venezuala and Wales. Their most recent tournament was the 2025 Gold Cup where they reached the quarter-finals before losing on penalties, which was a surprise and a disappointment. Canada will be hoping to break out of the group stages this time.
This is the first time Qatar have qualified (as with Canada this year the hosts of Qatar 2022 were given a place automatically), and they'll be hoping to do much better than at that tournament: they lost all three of their matches in 2022. Canada's looking like the favorite here but World Cups are full of surprises.
Here are all the details you need about how to watch Canada vs Qatar in the World Cup 2026.

How to watch Canada vs Qatar in the US
The Canada vs Qatar match will kick off at 6pm Eastern Time on the 19th of June.
Although there are no free streaming options in the US, there are multiple free trials. The longest, and our pick, is YouTube TV. That gives you 21 days, and when the free trial is up it's still discounted: $54.99 per month for the Sports Plan with ESPN, TNT, NFL and more.
Peacock is streaming the Spanish-language broadcasts from Telemundo for every match, and it's doing so in crisp Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. To access those streams you'll need Peacock Premium. That's $10.99 a month but it's free if you're already a Walmart Plus subscriber. If not, Walmart Plus is currently available for 30 days for just $1.
Fubo has a five-day free trial of its Sports + News package, which delivers streaming matches via both Fox and FS1. Fubo's monthly fee after the free trial is up is $55.99 per month.
The shortest free trial is for Fox One, Fox's streaming service. Fox One is streaming the match in 4K and after the three-day trial is up you'll pay $11.99 per month.
If you'll be outside the US for this match you might find yourself geoblocked because you're not connecting from a US internet provider. If you use a VPN such as Norton VPN you can stream as if you were at home.
How to watch Canada vs Qatar in the UK

If you're going to be outside the UK on the 18th and 19th you may find that you're geoblocked when you try to connect from a non-UK internet provider such as hotel Wi-Fi. We'd recommend a VPN such as Norton VPN. That enables you to persuade your streamer that you're at home and stream shows and sports normally.
