Overview
- The show premiered Thursday, June 11, and will air live nightly at midnight ET for a 24-episode run through July 15 to recap the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
- James Corden hosts the one-hour program from the Fox studio lot with former England captain Rio Ferdinand and comedian Ian Karmel as regular on-air partners.
- Fox and producers Fulwell Entertainment and Jolly Octopus Media describe the format as a light, high-energy recap that will spotlight the day’s biggest World Cup moments and feature surprise celebrity and soccer guests.
- Opening-night segments and promotional clips, including Corden playfully squirting Powerade at U.S. players, prompted notable negative reaction on social platforms and mixed early reviews.
- Fox positions the series as an experiment in short-run, event-tied late night that uses live sports viewership to build a nightly audience and generate social-media conversation.
