FIFA opens bidding for 2030 World Cup rights in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, with a 2034 bundle option

Sports Business Journal reports that FIFA’s tender focuses on the 2030 men’s World Cup but also allows offers covering both 2030 and 2034. FIFA prefers to sell U.S. English- and Spanish-language rights to a single bidder, a change from its previous approach. Sportico describes the bidding as a potential contest between traditional TV networks and streaming services.
