2026 FIFA World Cup broadcasting rights

The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be an international soccer tournament organized by FIFA, with an expansion over the previous competition from 32 to 48 teams. The broadcasting rights are sold directly by FIFA to national and trans-national broadcasters.

On February 12, 2015, FIFA renewed the U.S. and Canadian broadcasting rights contracts for Fox (U.S. English), NBCUniversal (U.S. Spanish), and Bell Media (Canada) to cover 2026, without accepting any other bids. A report in The New York Times asserted that this extension was intended as compensation for the rescheduling of the 2022 World Cup to November–December rather than its traditional June–July scheduling, as it created considerable conflicts with major professional sports leagues that are usually in their offseasons during the World Cup.

Futbol de Primera has the Spanish radio broadcasting rights.

The International Broadcast Center (IBC) will be located at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas.

On January 8, 2026, FIFA signed a deal to make TikTok a "preferred platform" for World Cup video content. As part of the agreement, broadcasters may stream parts of games at a dedicated hub on the TikTok app. FIFA then made a similar "preferred platform" deal with YouTube on March 17, allowing broadcasters to stream select games in full on their respective YouTube channels, as well as stream the first 10 minutes of every game on the platform. Later, it was confirmed that YouTube had extended this deal with FIFA and CazéTV to show all tournament Games for free in Brazil.

In May 8, 2026, Fox Sports announced a parternship with Cosm to show 40 matches in their three current locations at time, the list of matches includes the Mexico vs. South Africa opening match, all USMNT matches and the final match of the tournament.
