In total, the broadcaster will have 52 of the 104 matches that the World Cup will have
Of the 104 games for the 2026 World Cup, which will take place in Mexico, Canada and the United States, Globo will only broadcast half of the 52 matches. The announcement was made this Tuesday (11), at an event held in Rio de Janeiro.
The reduction in transmission in the number of matches is due to the new contract model between the broadcaster and FIFA. This is because, in 2026, Globo will no longer have the exclusivity of the World Cup and, therefore, the rights must be negotiated with other channels and platforms.
The next World Cup will be the first in history with 48 teams, and no longer the 32 teams, as happened until the World Cup in Qatar, held at the end of last year.
