FIFA World Cup 2026: Broadcast, Format, and TV Guide for the First 48-Team Tournament

The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be hosted across Canada, the United States, and Mexico from June 11 to July 19, 2026, with an expanded 48-team format. While the tournament will be widely available, French broadcasters beIN Sports and M6 have controversially chosen to use lower-quality video standards (Full HD SDR and 4K SDR respectively) rather than the full 4K HDR available in other countries, making 4K viewing complicated for French audiences.
