The World Cup is over, but the club season is just getting started. Here is where each big league streams in the United States, so you can pick the right app instead of paying for all of them.
- Which app shows each league
- English and Spanish options
- How to save on subscriptions
- Official apps only
Why Watching Soccer in the US Feels Complicated
In most countries, one or two channels carry the main league. In the United States, the rights are split: each competition is sold separately, often with different companies for English and Spanish commentary. That is why one friend watches on Peacock, another on Paramount+ and a third on Apple TV.
The good news is that once you know which league you care about, the choice gets simple. Most families only need one or two subscriptions.
Where Each League Streams
| Competition | Main streaming home (English) | Spanish-language option |
|---|---|---|
| Premier League (England) | Peacock, plus NBC and USA Network | Telemundo / Universo |
| UEFA Champions League | Paramount+ (some matches on CBS) | TUDN / ViX |
| MLS | Apple TV subscription (every match) | Apple TV (Spanish audio) |
| Liga MX | Depends on the club | Mostly Univision, TUDN and ViX |
| La Liga (Spain) | ESPN | ESPN Deportes |
| U.S. national teams | Varies by match | Varies by match |
Rights can change between seasons. Before you subscribe, check the competition’s official schedule or the U.S. Soccer schedule for national team games.
Premier League: Peacock
NBCUniversal holds the Premier League rights in the US. Peacock is the main place to stream it, with many matches that are not shown anywhere else. Some games also air on NBC and on USA Network; the USA Network matches need a TV provider or a live TV service.
Champions League: Paramount+
The Champions League, Europa League and Conference League stream in English on Paramount+, with a few big nights also on CBS. If you want the European competitions, this is the app to have. Paramount+ also carries Serie A from Italy.
MLS: Every Match on Apple TV
Since 2026, there is no separate MLS Season Pass anymore. Every MLS match, including the playoffs and MLS Cup, is part of the regular Apple TV subscription, with no local blackouts. A few marquee games also air on FOX. New to the league? Read our MLS guide for beginners.
Liga MX and Spanish-Language Soccer: ViX
Liga MX rights are sold club by club, so there is no single answer. Most clubs are on TelevisaUnivision (Univision, UniMás, TUDN and the ViX app), while a few teams play on Telemundo or FOX. ViX has a free tier with live channels and a Premium tier with more matches, all in Spanish.
ESPN for La Liga and Everything Else
The ESPN app carries La Liga matches from Spain and a lot of soccer news and highlights. Live games depend on your ESPN subscription or TV provider.
How to Save Money
- Pick your league first. One league usually means one app.
- Rotate subscriptions. Monthly plans can be canceled; subscribe during the months your team plays.
- Check what you already pay for. Some phone, internet and credit card plans include a streaming app.
- Use free options. ViX Free, broadcast TV (NBC, CBS, FOX, Univision, Telemundo) and highlights in score apps cost nothing.
Quick Picks by Type of Fan

Watching on the Big TV
All the apps above work on phones, tablets and computers, and most of them also run on smart TVs and streaming devices such as Roku, Fire TV, Google TV and Apple TV boxes. The easiest setup is to install the app on the TV and log in once with the same account you use on your phone.
- Log in before match day; some apps ask for a code on the TV that you confirm on your phone.
- If the picture freezes, move the router closer or use a network cable.
- Many apps let you cast from the phone to the TV with one tap.
- Turn on captions or a second audio language if your family prefers Spanish or English commentary.
Free and Low-Cost Ways to Follow Soccer
Not ready to pay? Big matches often air on broadcast TV (NBC, CBS, FOX, Univision and Telemundo), which you can watch for free with an antenna. Between games, the best live score apps show goals, stats and highlights at no cost, and the official league channels on YouTube post free highlights after every round.
