In the past two years or so, Peacock has set a high bar for innovations in sports broadcasting. Since the launch of its Summer Olympics viewing hub in 2024, it’s rolled out tons of great new features, from alternate views of sporting events, a multiview option that allows fans to watch more than one thing at a time and clever ways for fans to curate and interact with their content. And since you can currently watch Spanish-language broadcasts of every 2026 FIFA World Cup match on Peacock, it only makes sense that it’s rolling out more new features to enhance the viewing experience.
Starting today, June 30, Peacock’s Spanish-language World Cup hub is rolling out Visión de Campo, a vertical viewing format that allows fans to watch alternate camera angles dedicated to specific moments and athletes, offering unprecedented access to matches from their teams’ perspectives. (If this sounds familiar, that’s because Peacock also offers this feature during the NBA and NHL seasons as Courtside Live and Rinkside Live, respectively.)
Visión de Campo won’t be available for every single match, but for now, here’s a schedule of the matches where you can check it out (additional matches are TBA). While the format is mobile-first, you can also watch it at home on living room devices as a multiview or picture-in-picture option alongside the main match feeds.
- Tuesday, June 30, 9 p.m. ET: Mexico vs. Ecuador
- Wednesday, July 1, 8 p.m. ET: USA vs. Bosnia-Herzegovina
- Tuesday, July 14, 3 p.m. ET: Semifinal No. 1 (Teams TBD)
- Wednesday, July 15, 3 p.m. ET, Semifinal No. 2 (Teams TBD)
- Sunday, July 19, 3 p.m. ET, World Cup Final (Teams TBD)
Fans can track their predictions with the Tu Brackets feature in the Peacock app.
In addition to Visión de Campo, Peacock is rolling out an interactive bracket feature called Tu Brackets starting on Wednesday, July 8, the day before the quarterfinals begin.
You’ll need to act quickly to use this feature, though; the brackets launch on July 8, and fans need to lock in their bracket selections by Thursday, July 9, at 4 p.m. ET, when the first quarterfinal match begins. Once your bracket is created, you can track your teams and selections directly in the Peacock app all the way to the end of the tournament to see how your predictions fare. (Note that this is for personal entertainment and there’s no betting component to this feature.)
These new features complement the features you can already access on Peacock, including multiview, the interactive prediction and trivia game Predicciones, match replays, live games, highlights and more.
