FIFA has revealed the lineup for its expanded FIFA Series 2026, featuring 48 national teams in 12 groups across men's and women's competitions. The tournaments, set for March and April, will include teams from all six confederations and serve as preparation for major events like the World Cup. Matches will be broadcast globally to boost visibility for participating nations.
FIFA has partnered with DAZN to relaunch its FIFA+ streaming service next year as the 'Global Home of Football,' ahead of the 2026 World Cup. The platform will offer free access to live and on-demand content from more than 100 men's and women's national teams and club leagues, along with highlights, behind-the-scenes access, and a multilingual news service. This builds on the success of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup and a prior US$1 billion rights deal.
