The FIFA World Cup 2026 is here, and the first of an incredible 104 matches kicks off on June 11 with co-hosts Mexico vs South Africa in the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. The expanded World Cup runs for almost 6 weeks, with 48 teams looking to prise the iconic World Cup trophy from the hands of an in-form Lionel Messi and holders Argentina.
If you're travelling overseas for summer holidays during the World Cup, the only way to avoid your usual World Cup streaming services like the BBC iPlayer or ITVX being blocked by geo-restrictions is to use a reliable VPN service.
