Cantor joins the broadcast lineup

Netflix announced on October 1, 2026, that Andrés Cantor will join its coverage of the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027 in Brazil. According to Netflix Tudum, he is the first play-by-play announcer named for its coverage, giving viewers an initial indication of who will call the tournament.

Tudum says Cantor’s involvement will start with the final draw on December 11 and extend through the tournament, which begins June 24, 2027. His appointment is a broadcast staffing announcement ahead of those events; the October announcement does not mark the start of tournament coverage.

Cantor joins previously announced hosts Elle Duncan and Rebecca Lowe, according to Tudum. The platform says his experience includes covering every men’s FIFA World Cup since 1986 and four women’s tournaments, beginning with the inaugural competition in 1991. Those credits describe his background ahead of the Netflix assignment.

Broadcast languages and dates for viewers

For viewers in the United States, Netflix says coverage will be available in English and Spanish. In Canada, it lists English and French broadcasts. These are country-specific plans for the overall coverage: the language announcement does not specify which feed Cantor will work on or assign him particular matches.

Tudum lists July 25, 2027, as the tournament’s closing date, following its June 24 opening in Brazil. It also identifies the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro as the venue for the December 11 final draw, a separate event ahead of the matches.

Cantor told Tudum he hopes to balance commentary for knowledgeable soccer followers with explanations for occasional viewers. He also described plans to discuss athletes’ stories alongside the action. That is his stated approach to the assignment, rather than an established outcome for audiences, and offers a more specific account of his intentions than the appointment alone.
