A Destination that Brings the Tournament’s Live Moments, Highlights and Fan-Driven Content Together in One Place
SAN FRANCISCO, May 18, 2026 – Tubi (www.tubitv.com), Fox Corporation’s (NASDAQ: FOXA, FOX) free streaming service, today announced the launch of the 2026 FIFA World Cup™ FOX Hub as a destination for fans, kicking off the world’s greatest sporting event with FOX Sports and FIFA programming around the games and athletes, along with original and exclusive content from Tubi.

“Nearly a century ago, the World Cup was born out of a desire to bring the world together through sport,” said Deirdre Hesseldieck, Senior Vice President of Product at Tubi. “That mission has never been more relevant, and technology has never been better positioned to extend it. The FIFA World Cup™ FOX Hub is Tubi’s contribution to that legacy: a free destination designed for a seamless fan experience, where viewers can easily navigate from live coverage and highlights to creator commentary, player interviews, and expert predictions. We built it so fans never lose the thread.”
“The World Cup is one of the greatest sporting events on earth, and its stories extend far beyond the pitch,” said Samuel Harowitz, Senior Vice President of Content Acquisitions & Partnerships at Tubi. “The FIFA World Cup™ FOX Hub is programmed around everything that surrounds it: the players, the teams, the countries, and the creators who live and breathe the sport, delivering the ultimate fan experience. The Hub offers original docuseries following players on their journey to the tournament, talk shows and podcasts bringing fan-fueled energy to ‘the beautiful game,’ and classic films that capture what soccer means to people around the world. We’re excited to offer a content slate that gives every kind of fan something to connect with, before, during, and after the matches.”
