FOX Sports has been awarded exclusive U.S. broadcast rights to the 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup, marking a historic partnership that will bring the world’s biggest soccer tournament to American screens in unprecedented fashion.
The tournament, scheduled to run across three host nations, will align with the United States’ 250th anniversary, adding a layer of national celebration to the global football festival.
A New Era of Coverage
Rather than spreading resources across every match, the network will concentrate its storytelling on the United States Men’s National Team, using the event as a platform to showcase homegrown talent and the growing popularity of the sport.
Mike Davies, FOX Sports’ executive vice president of technical and field operations, outlined the ambitious production plan, emphasizing a scale of coverage never before attempted for a soccer event in the United States.
From cutting‑edge camera rigs to immersive graphics packages, the network aims to deliver a viewing experience that matches the spectacle of the tournament itself, while also highlighting the cultural significance of the milestone.
