The licensed US platforms doing the heaviest lifting across the buff slate. Editorial picks, no affiliate links.

⚽ World Cup 2026 on US TV — every match on FOX & Telemundo → — fixtures, kickoff times and channels, 11 June–19 July. If you want to watch the Premier League, Champions League, MLS or Liga MX football legally in the US, this is the page that tells you where. BuffStreams is an independent editorial site tracking American sports broadcast rights — Peacock for the Premier League, Paramount+ for the UCL, Apple TV+ for MLS, TUDN/Univision for Liga MX. We also cover Sunday NFL, Tuesday NBA, MLB and combat sports. We don’t host streams. We track who holds the rights.

The cable bundle is dead. Rights are scattered across Peacock, Paramount+, Apple TV+, ESPN+, Amazon Prime, YouTube TV, NBC, FOX, CBS, and a handful of league-specific apps. Half the time the bartender at your local sports bar can’t tell you which streaming service has the late game. Someone should write it down.

What’s on tonight

The slate depends on the season. NFL runs September through February. NBA tips off in October and runs into June. MLB starts in late March, World Series in October. Premier League and Champions League follow the European calendar (August to May). MLS has the longest US season — late February to early December, plus playoffs.

NFL — Sunday’s the slate

NFL Sunday Ticket lives on YouTube TV. YouTube TV runs Sunday Ticket as an add-on for $349 a season ($299 for YouTube TV subscribers). NFL+ is the league’s own package (Red Zone, replays, mobile-only live games) at $14.99 a month for the premium tier.

The networks split the slate the way they always have. CBS gets AFC games and the doubleheader on Sundays. FOX gets NFC. NBC keeps Sunday Night Football. ESPN holds Monday Night Football, behind the ESPN+ paywall on certain weeks. Amazon Prime runs Thursday Night Football. The Super Bowl rotates between CBS, FOX, and NBC.

ESPN/ABC takes the Wednesday and Friday windows, plus the Finals.

Editorial context — the BuffStreams name and the unlicensed sites

If you arrived from a search for one of the unlicensed sites using the BuffStreams name — variants on .io, .tv, .cc and a long tail of mirrors — several US ISPs and DNS providers have blocked those domains under federal copyright orders. BuffStreams (buffstreams.media) is an unrelated independent editorial publication. We do not host, link to, or facilitate access to unauthorized streams. The name overlap is the reason we publish this clarification.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I watch Premier League soccer in the United States?
Peacock Premium at $7.99 a month carries every Premier League match in the US — that's the only legal route. Sky Sports geo-blocks American viewers and DAZN does not hold US Premier League rights. NBC airs select marquee fixtures over the air on Saturday mornings.
Where is Champions League on US TV?
Paramount+ holds exclusive US streaming rights to UEFA Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League. Tuesday and Wednesday matchnights stream live with English commentary. CBS broadcasts the final on linear TV. There's no other legal US route.
How do I watch every NFL Sunday game?
There's no single subscription. CBS and FOX cover the in-market slate over the air, NBC has Sunday Night Football, and YouTube TV holds the NFL Sunday Ticket for out-of-market games. Combine those with NFL+ for RedZone access on mobile and you're covered for every Sunday window.
What's the cheapest multi-sport bundle?
