FIFA has announced three-minute hydration breaks in each half of every game at the 2026 World Cup, regardless of weather conditions. The pauses will occur around the 22-minute mark to prioritize player safety and provide recovery time. This change aims to make schedules more predictable for broadcasters while addressing heat risks at the tournament.
