NEW YORK (AP) -- FIFA says that it is awarding Fox another World Cup.
The sport's world governing body said Thursday that it is extending the deals for its tournaments through 2026 with its American and Canadian partners.
Fox adds the rights to the U.S. English-language coverage of the 2026 World Cup to its existing agreement for the 2018 and '22 events. The 2023 Women's World Cup is also part of the contract.
In 2011, Fox won the English-language deal from ESPN, paying $425 million for two cycles.
The location of the 2026 World Cup has yet to be decided, but the tournament could be particularly attractive to the U.S. and Canadian broadcasters with the potential of favorable time zones with an event in the Americas -- and possibly in the United States.
