FOX Sports and Concacaf have announced a new multi-year media rights agreement that will see FOX Sports become the U.S. English-language home of the Concacaf Gold Cup and Concacaf Nations League through 2029. This expanded partnership includes rights to the next two editions of the Gold Cup and the 2026–27 and 2028–29 cycles of the Nations League, including the Nations League Finals. The deal was revealed on FOX during the network's coverage of the FIFA World Cup 2026™. This agreement reflects the commitment of both Concacaf and FOX Sports to enhance the visibility and accessibility of premier men's senior national team competitions in the region.
Concacaf President and FIFA Vice President Victor Montagliani expressed excitement about the expanded partnership, highlighting the importance of making it easier for fans to follow the region's top teams, rivalries, and moments. FOX Sports CEO and Executive Producer Eric Shanks emphasized the network's dedication to showcasing the world's top international soccer tournaments, solidifying FOX Sports as America's home for these competitions. The agreement not only extends the existing partnership for the Gold Cup but also adds the Nations League for the first time, underscoring the growing relevance and impact of the competition across North America, Central America, and the Caribbean.
The Concacaf Gold Cup is the Confederation's premier men's national team competition, featuring top teams from North America, Central America, and the Caribbean. The Concacaf Nations League, designed to offer more competitive matches for all 41 Member Associations, has quickly become an integral part of the men's national team calendar. The competition serves as a qualifier for the Gold Cup and is structured across three leagues, culminating in the Concacaf Nations League Finals for League A, as well as championships for Leagues B and C. The upcoming fifth edition of the Nations League will commence in September, with the Finals scheduled for March 2027 at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, California. Following that, the 19th edition of the Concacaf Gold Cup will feature 16 national teams competing for the championship.
In conclusion, the new multi-year agreement between FOX Sports and Concacaf marks a significant milestone in the partnership, expanding FOX Sports' coverage to include the Concacaf Nations League alongside the Gold Cup.
