Watch World Cup 2026 in Vietnam

Vietnam is one of Southeast Asia's most football-obsessed nations, with a population that passionately follows the Premier League, Champions League and major international tournaments. For FIFA World Cup 2026, FPT Corporation (FPT Play) holds comprehensive streaming rights, offering live access to all matches through their streaming platform. VTV (Vietnam Television) carries selected free-to-air matches on their public channels — a tradition dating back to previous World Cups. K+ (K Plus) satellite television also carries football rights and may feature World Cup coverage for subscribers. FPT Play is accessible via app and web browser, making it the most convenient option for younger Vietnamese viewers who primarily watch on smartphones and laptops. Vietnam's time zone (ICT, UTC+7) means North American matches air between 11:00 PM and 8:00 AM — a familiar schedule for fans who already stay up for late-night Premier League fixtures. With the Vietnamese national team's growing profile and a passionate football culture, World Cup 2026 is set to be an enormous television event.
