Dreaming of spending your summer watching the World Cup in style? Fox Sports might have the ultimate gig for you. In a creative partnership with Indeed, the network is hiring a "Chief World Cup Watcher" — a role that pays $50,000 for what sounds like a soccer fan's paradise.
Here's the deal: Fox Sports, which holds the English-language broadcast rights for the 2026 World Cup in the U.S., wants someone to watch all 104 matches in stunning 4K resolution on the Fox One streaming platform. But you won't be lounging on your couch. Instead, you'll be stationed in a custom-built viewing space right in the heart of Times Square, surrounded by thousands of daily visitors, tourists, and commuters.
Yes, it's a sponsored gimmick with a side of zero work-life balance. But for a die-hard soccer fan willing to trade an entire summer for a paycheck, it's a no-brainer. The job requires you to be fully immersed — every match, every minute — all while being the face of Fox's World Cup coverage in one of the busiest spots on Earth.
Think of it as a real-life video game setup, but with actual crowds and a $50,000 reward. The opening match kicks off on June 11 in Mexico City, and the lucky hire will be right there in the action, albeit 2,000 miles away.
If you're interested, you'll need to update your Indeed profile by May 17 to be considered. So, if you've ever joked about wanting to get paid to watch sports, Fox Sports just called your bluff. Are you ready to answer?
