Football fans in Germany have exciting news to look forward to regarding the 2030 FIFA World Cup.
Deutsche Telekom has officially secured the exclusive domestic media rights for the tournament, promising comprehensive coverage through its MagentaTV platform.
The 2030 edition will be a massive, multi-continental celebration, featuring 48 teams playing 104 matches.
While the primary hosts are Spain, Portugal, and Morocco, the tournament will uniquely kick off in Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay to mark the 100th anniversary of the very first World Cup.
The event is scheduled to take place from June 8 to July 21, 2030.
Following the record-breaking viewership of the 2026 tournament, this deal reinforces Deutsche Telekom’s dominance in sports broadcasting.
German law requires specific high-profile games—such as those featuring the German national team or the tournament final—to be accessible to all viewers without a subscription.
It is set to be a historic and accessible summer of football.
