The 2026 World Cup is set to be the largest in history, featuring 48 teams and 104 matches. The tournament will be co-hosted by the U.S., Canada and Mexico from June 11 to July 19.

According to FIFA, approximately 180 countries and territories have already acquired broadcasting rights for the major tournament.

Viewers can tune in via terrestrial, cable, satellite and IPTV platforms. Additionally, VTV will distribute content across digital platforms, allowing users to watch live streams, replays or video-on-demand via the internet and mobile devices.
