Imagine getting paid to watch every single game of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Sounds like a dream, right? Well, Fox and Indeed are making it a reality by hiring a "Chief World Cup Watcher" for the tournament—and anyone can apply.
This is the biggest World Cup ever, with 48 teams competing for the first time, meaning a record 104 matches to watch. The lucky hire will take in all the action from a custom-built viewing area in New York's Times Square. And the pay? A cool $50,000 for the gig, which breaks down to roughly $480 per game.
So, how do you land this ultimate sports fan job? First, update your Indeed profile to highlight your reporting, journalism, and content creation experience. Then, make sure your profile is set to "employers can find you." Next, create a video for social media explaining why you're the perfect candidate, and include the hashtag #ChiefWorldCupWatcher. The Fox and Indeed teams will review the entries and make their selection.
The chosen Chief World Cup Watcher will be announced on Saturday, June 6, with the World Cup final set for July 26. If you've got the passion and a flexible schedule, this could be your ticket to an unforgettable summer of soccer.
