All 104 Matches Live
DAZN says it will stream every World Cup 2026 match live in Japan.
DAZN is now one of the biggest World Cup 2026 viewing options in Japan. DAZN's official press release says it acquired the live streaming rights for all 104 matches of the tournament in Japan, and adds that Japan national team matches will be streamed live for free.

What is DAZN and Where is it Available
DAZN is a subscription-led sports streaming platform and one of Japan's biggest digital sports services. It already carries major football properties in the country and now has a central World Cup 2026 role.
The practical point is simple: if you want the full tournament in Japan from one official streaming platform, DAZN is the strongest answer currently on record. It combines the broadest confirmed match access with a mature app and device ecosystem.
