Fox acquired the rights to the World Cup in 2011 when it outbid ESPN for the 2015-22 cycle, after which it extended its deal with FIFA, soccer’s world governing body, in 2015.

As well as the 2022 tournament, Fox holds rights to the 2026 edition in the US, Mexico, and Canada, as well as the UEFA European Championships in 2024 and 2028.
