TThe countdown to the 2026 FIFA World Cup has officially begun, and FOX Corporation has announced the matches that will be available to watch in the United States to follow not only the home national team, but also fellow hosts Mexico and Canada within the territory of the United States.
With an ambitious broadcast strategy, the American network positions itself as the premier destination for fans, offering comprehensive coverage across all 104 games of the tournament. This is the highest total in event history after expanding to 48 varsity teams.

The schedule highlights the excellence of the host nation. The journey begins with Mexico’s season opener on June 11, and the U.S. men’s national team will make its major league debut against Paraguay on June 12, which will be broadcast live on FOX’s flagship network.
The network does not limit its focus to prime-time matches. Instead, we will broadcast the group stage and final round on our main channel and FS1, ensuring that key moments remain hidden from viewers’ eyes.
In addition to live matches, FOX has confirmed that it will broadcast pre-game shows and in-depth analysis directly from the stadium, reinforcing its commitment to providing the highest level of visual and technical experience for what is expected to be the biggest sporting event of the decade.
