Get ready to kick off an unforgettable summer of soccer! Yahoo Sports has joined forces with FOX One, the official English streaming home of the FIFA World Cup 2026™, to launch two exciting new fantasy games. These free-to-play experiences are designed to put your soccer knowledge to the test while you watch every thrilling moment of the tournament live.
"We're thrilled to team up with our great partners at FOX One to add even more excitement to the world's biggest sporting event," says Ryan Spoon, President of Yahoo Media Group. "These games will give fans fun new ways to engage with the tournament, while also making it easier to find and watch every match live on FOX One."
Tony Billetter, SVP of Strategy & Business Development at FOX Direct to Consumer, echoes that enthusiasm: "We are excited to partner with Yahoo Sports to give fans a fun and immersive way to raise the stakes even further as they watch all of World Cup action on FOX One. Fantasy games can really augment the viewing experience and serve to build community around this global event."
So, how does the new 2026 Soccer Pick 'Em with FOX One game work? It's simple and built for all fans, whether you're a seasoned fantasy player or a first-timer. During the group stage, you'll predict the winners of each group and pick the tournament's top goal scorer. Then, as the action moves into the knockout rounds, you'll pick the winners of each match. The best part? Your picks become more valuable as the tournament progresses, so you can jump in midway and still have a real shot at winning.
Want to prove you're the ultimate soccer expert? You can compete against the entire world on the overall leaderboard, challenge your friends in a private group, or join featured groups to test your skills against soccer insiders. For example, FOX One will host its own featured group, and the popular The Cooligans duo—Alexis Guerreros and Christian Polanco—will also be running one. It's the perfect way to build community and make every match even more meaningful.
