What if your dream job was literally watching the World Cup? Fox Sports and Indeed are making that a reality for one lucky fan. They've teamed up to hire a "Chief World Cup Watcher" for the 2026 tournament—a role that pays $50,000 to watch all 104 games from a custom-built viewing space in New York City's Times Square.
This isn't just any gig; it's a front-row seat to history. The 2026 World Cup, co-hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada, will feature 48 teams for the first time, setting a record with 104 matches. Imagine soaking in every goal, every upset, and every celebration, all while representing the ultimate fan experience. Of those games, 70 will air on Fox's broadcast channel, 34 on FS1, and every match will stream live on Fox One and the Fox Sports App—so you won't miss a moment.
Here's how to apply: head to Indeed, update your profile with your relevant skills, and post a video on social media explaining why you're the perfect candidate. The winner will be announced on Saturday, June 6, during Fox's MLB broadcast of the Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees game. Then, just five days later, the action kicks off when Mexico faces South Africa at the iconic Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. The tournament culminates with the final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on July 19.
Whether you're a die-hard soccer fan or just love the thrill of the world's biggest sporting event, this is an opportunity that's hard to beat. So, polish your application and get ready to turn your passion into a paycheck—because someone's about to score the job of a lifetime.
