CazeTV, the Brazilian sports streaming platform run by the LiveMode agency alongside streamer Casimiro Miguel, will show all 104 matches from the 2026 FIFA World Cup national teams soccer tournament.
The streaming platform has now formally announced that it has acquired rights to every single fixture from the event, which will take place between June 11 and July 19 next year, across Mexico, the US, and Canada, and will be covered live.

CazeTV also covered action from the 2022 FIFA World Cup, its first major rights deal after launching that same year (with covering the World Cup as its sole purpose), streaming 39 games, and gaining 5.5 million subscribers during the event.
It will broadcast half of the games from next year's tournament alongside Globo, the dominant Brazilian broadcast network. Globo holds rights to 52 of the fixtures, including those set to be played by the Brazilian men's national team, through a deal struck in late 2022.
That original agreement through which Globo secured rights to the 2026 World Cup did stipulate that the Brazilian heavyweight would not hold exclusive rights, a decision made (it was reported at the time) for financial reasons.
The deal through which CazeTV will show all games from next year's tournament was unveiled during the build-up to the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final on Sunday (July 13). CazeTV also covered that event, through a tie-up with global rights-holder DAZN.

By GlobalDataShortly after this, a social media video was posted, promoting broadcasting of the 48-team World Cup on CazeTV.
Brazil are always considered one of the favorites at each World Cup, and qualified for next year's edition in June. They have won the tournament five times previously, a record, but lost at the quarter-final stage to Croatia at the 2022 event in Qatar.
Since launching in late 2022, CazeTV has shown action from some of the most high-profile sporting events worldwide, including the Paris Olympic Games last year, as well as NFL American football games played internationally.
In late February, the platform snapped up near-live and highlights rights for a range of top-tier South American soccer properties, through 2026.
A Brazilian deal between LiveMode and the Conmebol South American soccer body, unveiled late last week, gave CazeTV those rights for the top-tier Copa Libertadores and second-tier Copa Sudamericana pan-continental club competitions.
