Overview
- Fox announced nine traveling broadcast pairings to cover all 104 matches in the expanded 48-team tournament across the United States, Canada and Mexico.
- Lead voices John Strong and Stu Holden will call every U.S. Men’s National Team game and the Final at MetLife Stadium.
- Six of the nine play-by-play roles go to British announcers, creating four all-British booths and a majority of British voices among the 18-person on-air commentary team.
- The network named five reporters — Alex Alijoe, Natalie Gedra, Katie Shanahan, Geoff Shreeves and Jenny Taft — with Tom Rinaldi as at-large correspondent, and it will use Mark Clattenburg and Dr. Joe Machnik as rules analysts.
- Fox also outlined studio plans, naming hosts Rob Stone and Rebecca Lowe with analysts including Thierry Henry, Zlatan Ibrahimović, Clarence Seedorf, Javier Hernández, Carli Lloyd and Alexi Lalas, and said it will air 69 matches on Fox and 35 on FS1.
