No World Cup 2026 semifinal is available as a live event now. Both matches were completed on July 14 and July 15, according to the official FIFA schedule. France played Spain on July 14, followed by Argentina against England on July 15, as documented by NBCUniversal News Group. Viewers looking now need a replay or archive, not a live-stream subscription.

What aired in the United States?
FOX carried both semifinals in English at 3 p.m. ET. The July 14 match came from Arlington/Dallas Stadium, while the July 15 match came from Atlanta Stadium.
FOX One and the FOX Sports app streamed all 104 tournament matches live and on demand, making them the confirmed English-language streaming routes during the competition. That on-demand commitment came from the FOX Sports broadcast announcement. In Spanish, both semifinals aired through Telemundo, Peacock, and the Telemundo App. Peacock provided every tournament match live in Spanish to Premium and Premium plus subscribers; its lower Select tier covered only the first eight group-stage matches.
Which service should U.S. viewers check now?
start with the service that carried your preferred commentary language. Check FOX One or the FOX Sports app for English, and Peacock or the Telemundo App for Spanish.
Follow these steps before paying or changing plans: FOX confirmed on-demand tournament coverage, but the evidence does not establish how long each replay remains available. It also does not confirm that every original viewing route still carries the matches on August 14.
- Search for the teams rather than only "World Cup semifinal."
- Confirm that the listing says "replay," "full match," or "on demand."
- Check the commentary language before starting playback.
- Verify access on your exact subscription tier.
- Avoid listings described only as highlights or recaps if you want the complete match.
What are the options in Canada and Mexico?
Canadian coverage ran through TSN and RDS for all 104 matches. Selected games also appeared on CTV, Noovo, and the live CTV channel in Crave, but Bell media identified TSN and RDS as the complete-coverage services in its Canadian broadcast plan. That distinction matters when searching for a semifinal replay.
A service that showed selected matches may not have the same archive as a complete-coverage platform. In Mexico, ViX Premium's Mexico-only "Pase Mundial 2026" offered all 104 matches during the tournament. The original offer does not confirm that either semifinal remains available now, so viewers should inspect the current ViX catalog before subscribing.
Replay, highlights, or match analysis?
A full replay preserves the match's original rhythm: buildup, tactical changes, substitutions, and periods without scoring. That makes it the most useful format for viewers approaching football as they might analyze a film's pacing and structure. Highlights answer a different question.
They efficiently show goals and major incidents but can hide how pressure developed or why a tactical adjustment worked. Post-match analysis may provide useful interpretation, yet it is not a substitute for the original broadcast. Confirm the running time and listing type before choosing among:.
- Full-match replay for complete viewing
- Extended highlights for a shorter account
- Standard highlights for major moments
- Studio analysis for tactical discussion
Avoid misleading "live" listings
Search pages and old schedules may still contain "watch live" wording from July. The decisive details are the event date and the service's current label.
Do not assume that an archived landing page means the video remains playable. Open the match page, confirm that playback starts, and check whether the platform requires a supported plan in your location.
