Netflix said the World Cup matches will only be part of its offerings. Leading up to the 2027 tournament, Netflix will produce documentaries centered on players and the sport itself.
Then, Netflix will stream the 2031 Women’s World Cup. That location has yet to be announced.
This is Netflix’s latest venture into the live sports arena. In November 2024, it streamed the boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, reaching 108 million people. The event was the most-streamed sporting event ever, despite technical difficulties.
First, the streaming giant is gearing up for an NFL double-header on Christmas Day. Then on Jan. 6, Netflix will begin streaming WWE’s “Raw” weekly television series.
