10月23日，来自进球网的最新消息显示，国际足球联合会正式开启了对2030年世界杯美国地区电视及网络媒体版权的竞标流程，同时亦赋予了各方对2034年世界杯版权的挑选权限。
电视和流媒体转播权招标活动已扩展至美国及波多黎各地区，投标者有机会在报价过程中争取到2034年世界杯的转播权。提交投标提案的最后期限定于11月19日。
官方声明中，国际足球联合会展现出对新型传播手段的接纳立场，旨在扩大该区域的观众覆盖面。这种立场与数字媒体平台涌入体育赛事直播领域的潮流相吻合。近期，流媒体领域的领军企业奈飞正式宣布，获得了2030年世界杯在西班牙及安道尔地区的转播权限，这一举措凸显了国际足联在寻求与媒体合作新模式方面的决心，意图超越传统电视媒体。
The 2030 FIFA World Cup will span across various continents. Spain, Portugal, and Morocco are the key joint hosts. In celebration of the centennial of the first-ever World Cup, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay will take the lead in hosting the opening matches. Subsequently, the tournament will be held in Europe and Africa. Saudi Arabia has been designated as the sole host for the 2034 World Cup.
The battle for the U.S. broadcasting rights to the 2026 FIFA World Cup is anticipated to be fiercely competitive. Fox had previously secured the exclusive English-language broadcasting rights for the event, which is jointly hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, while Telemundo obtained the Spanish-language television rights. According to FIFA statistics, the average audience on television and streaming platforms for the 2026 World Cup in the U.S. reached 13.5 million viewers, marking a 166% increase compared to the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
