Fox and Indeed Will Pay $50,000 for a 'Chief World Cup Watcher' in Times Square

The search doubles as a marketing push for Fox's World Cup coverage.

Overview

  • Fox Sports, Fox One and Indeed opened applications in the United States for a fan to watch every match of the 2026 World Cup.
  • Applicants must create or update an Indeed profile and post a social video explaining their candidacy, with entries due by May 17.
  • The selected fan will view all 104 matches from a dedicated space in New York’s Times Square during the 39‑day event.
  • The role pays $50,000 and calls for active viewing, including cheering teams and posting frequent content on social media.
  • The 2026 tournament runs June 11 to July 19 across the United States, Mexico and Canada and expands to 48 teams, which drives the scope of the assignment.
