MIAMI (AP) - NBCUniversal's Peacock streaming service will carry all 64 World Cup matches in the United States with Spanish-language commentary, including the first 12 for free from Nov. 20-23.

The 52 games from Nov. 24 through the final on Dec. 18 will be on the Peacock Premium tier, which charges a fee, NBCUniversal said Tuesday.

NBCUniversal's Telemundo Deportes, part of Comcast Corp.'s holdings, owns U.S. Spanish-language television rights, while Fox controls U.S. English-language TV rights.

AndrÃ©s Cantor is Telemundo's chief commentator and will be joined by Miguel Gurwitz, hosts Ana Jurka and Carlota Vizmanos, and former Mexico striker Carlos Hermosillo.

Peacock will host a free Copa Mundial 24/7 channel with highlights, analysis and discussion, produced by Telemundo's digital Tplus brand. Commentators specific to Peacock include Carmen Boquin, Diego Arrioja, Piero Menor, Luis Baraldi, Pablo MariÃ±o and Pablo Alsina along with Houston Dash striker MarÃa SÃ¡nchez, who played for Mexico at the 2015 Women's World Cup.
