Who has live televised broadcast rights for the 2026 World Cup in the USA?
The US broadcast rights for the 2026 FIFA World Cup belong to Fox who will broadcast every World Cup fixture live through their two network channels, FOX and FOX Sports 1. Whilst the main FOX channel is terrestrial and free-to-air in the USA, FS1 is a pay-to-view channel, so USA viewers wanting to watch every World Cup fixture will likely have to pay to do so.
Fixtures involving the USA, along with glamour fixtures including the opening match, semi-finals and the final itself are all free-to-air on Fox.
