FIFA has published its list of official media partners for the 2026 World Cup, with coverage set to span 17 countries across television, radio, mobile and online platforms.
The tournament, which will be the first World Cup to feature 48 teams, is being staged across the United States, Canada and Mexico. FIFA’s expanded rights map reflects the larger number of matches and the wider range of outlets now involved in football coverage.
In the UK, BBC, ITV and talkSPORT are listed among the official broadcasters. Spain’s rights holders include RTVE, Mediapro and DAZN Spain, while France will be covered by M6 and beIN Sports France, with Radio France, RMC and RTL on radio.
Elsewhere, FOX Sports and Telemundo have the rights in the United States, CTV Specialty Television Enterprises Inc is listed in Canada, and TRT will carry the tournament in Turkey across TV, radio, mobile and internet.
The full schedule, access model and which matches each outlet will show will be decided by local broadcasters.
