All upcoming World Cup matches will be broadcast in Spanish on Peacock. Also, these games on the streaming service are available in 1080p resolution at 60fps (frames per second). However, this means that viewers will not be able to watch the games in 4K on Peacock.
NBC currently owns the Spanish-language television rights to the 2022 World Cup in the United States. Telemundo, the company’s main Spanish-language channel, will broadcast all of the tournament’s matches. However, Peacock, NBC’s streaming service, will also broadcast these games.
Last week it was announced that Peacock will stream the first dozen World Cup games for free. The streaming service currently has a free tier that includes a limited list of content. Meanwhile, the remaining 52 matches can only be accessed on the paid version of the Peacock Premium service.
Peacock will launch its World Cup Hub on November 14. This part of the streaming service will be accessible for the duration of the tournament in Qatar. The hub will include programming such as documentaries, looks at past World Cup competitions and more.
