Summertime Soccer- The 2026 FIFA World Cup On and Off the Pitch

We break down the World Cup on and off the pitch, just 48 days away from the first game of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

We’re 48 days away from the first game of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with the club season winding down. However, for many, this World Cup remains inaccessible. We’ll hear from those with tickets about the hoops they jumped through to get tickets. Fears of immigration enforcement are also putting a damper on some fans who wish to go to games or enjoy the tournament in the US. And, we’ll preview the competition, including how the US might play, players to watch and who YOU think might take home the trophy.
