Netherlands National Team TV Schedule: View Netherlands Games On TV

Netherlands TV Schedule and Streaming links

Get all the info you need for where and when to watch the Oranje with our Netherlands National Football Team TV schedule.

Widely considered to be one of the historically strongest national teams in the world, the Netherlands have competed in eleven World Cup finals, though they have never won the tournament (they are, however, three-time runners-up).

The “total football” era of the 1970s led by the legendary Johan Cruyff was perhaps the golden age for the program, but they’ve remained consistently strong in the decades since, including winning the European Championship in 1988.

After finishing second and third in 2010 and 2014 respectively, the Dutch failure to qualify for Russia 2018 was stunning. With a bit of a chip on their shoulders, the Netherlands advanced to the quarterfinals in 2022. They fell to eventual champions Argentina on penalty kicks in one of the most memorable games of the tournament.

Where can I watch the Netherlands on U.S. TV and streaming?

Following the Netherlands Men’s National Team in the United States requires navigating a precise broadcasting structure, split cleanly between global tournament stages and the traditional European competitive cycle.

FIFA World Cup

When the Oranje pursue an elusive first global star at the FIFA World Cup, the viewing ecosystem is fully centralized across two major American media conglomerates.

• English Language: FOX Sports holds exclusive broadcast rights, distributing group-stage blockbusters and knockout games across network FOX, FS1, and FS2.
• Spanish Language: Coverage belongs entirely to NBCUniversal, broadcasting linearly on Telemundo or Universo, and streaming every game live on Peacock.

UEFA Euro, Nations League, & European Qualifiers

Outside of the World Cup, tracking the Netherlands through continental play—including the UEFA European Championship (Euro), the UEFA Nations League, and all traditional European World Cup Qualifiers—falls under Fox’s broad media portfolio.

• Streaming-First Matches: A vast majority of mid-week afternoon European Qualifiers and Nations League games are distributed via Fox’s sub-licensing partnerships and stream exclusively on Fubo sports channels.
• Marquee Matches: High-stakes playoff fixtures or tier-one Euro tournament games are elevated to linear cable television on FS1 or FS2.

International Friendlies

Standard exhibition friendlies played outside of official UEFA centralized windows do not have a permanent home. These localized rights are negotiated on a match-by-match basis, frequently sliding onto streaming platforms like ESPN+ or specialized international networks.

To ensure comprehensive coverage that captures both centralized UEFA cycles and major international tournaments, a comprehensive live streaming platform like Fubo, DirecTV Stream, or YouTube TV is highly recommended to capture all FOX linear channels, Spanish coverage, and sub-licensed UEFA streaming feeds.
