The countdown is underway and with just 100 days to go until the world's greatest sporting event begins on Thurs., June 11, FOX Sports, America's English-language home for the FIFA World Cup 2026, commemorates the milestone mark with an all-out, company-wide celebration.
From multiplatform initiatives and on-air activations blanketing network programming, to high-impact community events capturing the philanthropic spirit of the beautiful game and special guest appearances by FOX Soccer broadcasters on fan-favorite shows, FOX Sports is leading the way in building momentum across the country on the road to the opening match.
Eric Shanks, CEO & Executive Producer, FOX Sports, underscored the importance of the day as the network advances into its next phase of FIFA World Cup 2026 preparation.
I'm incredibly proud of how everyone at FOX has come together to ring in 100 days to this iconic tournament as we prepare to deliver the most ambitious production in sports broadcast history, says Shanks. The coordination, dedication and planning taking place behind the scenes, here at home in the United States and in Mexico and Canada, reflect our commitment to creating the best presentation ever around the historic competition and we look forward to being America's home where fans unite to watch and celebrate FIFA World Cup 2026 over 39 days this summer.
