T he countdown to the FIFA World Cup 2026 has officially begun, and FOX Corp has announced the matches it will make available in the United States to follow not only the home national team, but also fellow host nations Mexico and Canada within U.S. territory.

With an ambitious broadcast strategy, the American network positions itself as the primary destination for fans, offering comprehensive coverage that will span all 104 matches of the tournament-the highest total in the event's history following its expansion to 48 national teams.

The schedule highlights the prominence of the host nations. The journey will begin on June 11 with Mexico's opening match, while the United States Men's National Team will make its marquee debut on June 12 against Paraguay, with live coverage on FOX's flagship network.

In addition to live matches, FOX has confirmed pregame shows and in-depth analysis broadcast directly from stadiums, reinforcing its commitment to delivering a top-tier visual and technical experience for what is expected to be the largest sporting event of the decade.
