进球网最新消息，10月23日，国际足球联合会正式开启了针对2030年世界杯的美国地区电视及网络媒体版权的竞标流程，同时赋予了各方对2034年世界杯版权的潜在选择权。
电视和流媒体转播权招标活动已扩展至美国及波多黎各地区，投标者有机会在报价阶段同时竞标2034年世界杯的转播权。提交投标提案的最后期限设定为11月19日。
官方声明中，国际足球联合会展现出对新型传播手段的接纳意愿，旨在扩大该区域的观众覆盖范围。这种立场与数字媒体平台涌入体育直播领域的潮流相契合。在本周初期，流媒体巨头Netflix宣布成功获取2030年世界杯在西班牙及安道尔地区的转播权，这一举措表明国际足联有意在未来的媒体伙伴关系中摒弃传统的电视广播模式。
The 2030 World Cup will span across various continents. Spain, Portugal, and Morocco will serve as the key joint organizers. In celebration of the centennial of the first-ever World Cup, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay are tasked with hosting the opening phase of the competition. Subsequently, the event will be relocated to Europe and Africa. Saudi Arabia has been designated as the sole organizer for the 2034 World Cup.
The battle for broadcasting rights in the United States is anticipated to be fiercely competitive. Fox had previously secured the exclusive English-language broadcasting rights for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which is to be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Telemundo, on the other hand, acquired the Spanish television rights. According to FIFA's statistics, the average viewership on television and streaming platforms for the 2026 World Cup in the U.S. reached 13.5 million per match, marking a 166% increase from the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
