World Cup broadcasting rights in Spain

Mediaset's channels, TelecincoCuatro and BeMad will combine to broadcast all 64 World Cup matches to Spanish audiences. Furthermore, Mediaset bought exclusive broadcasting rights for mobile phones and tablets via their app Mediaset Sport, and all 64 games will be available on their website Telecinco.es as well.

Telecinco, the free-to-air Spanish broadcaster will air all of the Spanish national team's matches as well as other matches that air during prime-time. Cuatro will act as the secondary World Cup network, whereas BeMad will fill the remaining voids to ensure full coverage of the tournament is available in Spain.

Onda Cero, Radio Marca and Cadena COPE will be able to broadcast all World Cup games with the help of their many affiliates throughout Spain. The amount of games to be broadcast by each radio station will be revealed prior to the tournament's beginning.
