Samsung Smart TVs run the Tizen operating system, which has its own app ecosystem for streaming. All major World Cup 2026 streaming apps are available on Tizen through the Samsung Smart TV app store. The WorldCupPass.com watch guide guide covers Samsung Smart TV app installation and streaming setup for the tournament.
From your Samsung TV home screen, press the Smart Hub button on your remote to access the App Store. Search for FOX Sports, Peacock, Tubi, and your preferred virtual cable service. Download and install each app. Samsung TVs from 2018 onward support all current versions of these apps.
Samsung TV Hub Features for World Cup Navigation
Samsung’s Smart Hub has a Universal Guide feature that aggregates live TV and streaming content across all your installed apps. During the World Cup, live matches appear in the Universal Guide when they are in progress. This lets you find the current live game without opening each app individually.
Samsung TVs also have a Multi-Link Screen feature that displays two streams side by side on compatible models. During Matchday 3 simultaneous kickoffs, this lets you watch both Group A matches simultaneously on one screen without needing a second device. Check your specific Samsung model’s specifications to confirm Multi-Link Screen availability.
Connecting an Antenna to Samsung TV for Backup
Samsung Smart TVs have a built-in tuner that receives over-the-air broadcasts with a compatible antenna. Connecting an indoor digital antenna to the antenna input on the back of your Samsung TV gives you free access to the local FOX affiliate’s broadcast signal. This serves as a zero-cost, low-latency backup for any World Cup match that airs on FOX’s main channel, including the Final.
World Cup 2026 Streaming on Samsung Smart TVs
Samsung smart TVs running the Tizen operating system have access to a built-in app store with all major World Cup streaming services available. FOX Sports, Peacock, Tubi, Fubo, YouTube TV, Sling, and Hulu Live all have Tizen apps. Most Samsung TV models from 2018 onward support these apps natively without any additional hardware. Log in with your service credentials and start streaming directly from the TV.
Samsung TVs support AirPlay 2 which allows iPhone and iPad users to cast World Cup streams directly to the screen. The Smart Hub on Samsung TVs organizes your most-used apps on the home screen for quick access during the tournament. For households planning to watch multiple World Cup matches per day, Samsung’s split-screen feature on certain models allows two streams side by side during simultaneous Matchday 3 games.
