Overview
- Fox Sports named its studio team and will carry 70 matches on FOX with 34 on FS1, including the July 19 final with the tournament’s first halftime show.
- The BBC confirmed a 54‑game slate with a star pundit roster and will base most coverage in Salford, a cost‑saving approach Gabby Logan defended on financial and sustainability grounds.
- New York–New Jersey transport plans now lean on shuttles and transit with no general parking, and the Penn Station–to–stadium round trip was cut to $98 after earlier higher proposals drew fan backlash.
- FIFA has yet to close a media deal in India, with Reuters reporting a roughly $20 million Reliance‑Disney offer against FIFA’s near–$60 million target and analysts warning this gap could fuel piracy and limit reach.
- Industry reports point to soft demand, with hotel bookings in many U.S. host cities running below early forecasts and a survey showing weak mainstream awareness of the U.S. men’s coach.
