A record 40 matches, more than one-third of the tournament, will air in primetime across FOX (21) and FS1 (19). This scheduling prioritizes American viewing habits and maximizes accessibility for domestic audiences.
The comprehensive broadcast structure reflects the tournament's significance for American soccer development. With 48 teams competing for the first time, this represents the largest World Cup in history. The accessibility through free-to-air broadcasts removes traditional barriers that have limited soccer viewership in the United States.
FOX Sports has assembled nine commentary teams, with John Strong and Stu Holden leading coverage for their third consecutive World Cup, while Ian Darke reunites with Landon Donovan. This continuity in presentation aims to build sustained engagement with American audiences beyond the tournament itself.
