(Photo by Molly Darlington/Getty Images) Getty Images The 2026 Men’s World Cup is far from over. And yet, attention is already turning toward 2030, and how this year’s tournament can lead to even more lucrative opportunities the next time around. Front Office Sports reported that the bidding for 2030 World Cup media rights could start at $1 billion in the U.S. – more than double the $485 million Fox paid for this year’s event, which can only be considered a steal.
