  "account": "Spain will host the FIFA World Cup in 2030, bringing the international football spectacle back to their home turf. Fans can now catch every match through Netflix, as the streaming giant has secured exclusive rights to broadcast the tournament across Spain and Andorra. The deal covers all 104 games, including the opening matches in Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, which mark the centennial of the World Cup. In addition to live broadcasts, Netflix plans to offer pre-match, half-time, and post-match shows, along with daily round-ups and build-up programs before the tournament begins. While most matches will be accessible only through Netflix, a national free-to-air channel will provide coverage of Spain's games, including the semi-finals and final. One match per day will also be available for free viewing in Spain, though the specific games and the channel have not yet been announced. Netflix's cheapest plan in Spain currently costs €8.99 per month, with Standard and Premium plans available at €14.99 and €21.99, respectively. The company has not disclosed pricing for 2030 or any potential extra costs for football fans. This move marks a significant shift for Netflix, as they venture into the realm of live sports, which already includes NFL, WWE, and big boxing events. In contrast, during the 2026 World Cup, Spain's free-to-air channel RTVE aired 17 group games, including all three of Spain's matches, and one knockout game daily through DAZN, which carried all 104 matches for paying subscribers. Netflix's chief content officer, Bela Bajaria, expressed her excitement about offering every match to fans in Spain and Andorra. FIFA Secretary General Mattias Grafström welcomed the deal, emphasizing its role in bringing football closer to fans. Spain will begin the tournament as defending champions after their 1-0 victory over Argentina in extra time at the final in New York on July 19. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez greeted the team at La Moncloa and encouraged fans to dream of a third World Cup title at home in 2030.",
