The network is seeking an applicant to watch the entirety of the 104-match tournament, offering a $50,000 salary for the comprehensive summer assignment.
Do you consider yourself an ardent football enthusiast? You may be the candidate sought by FOX Sports and Indeed. The two posted a job vacancy for a “Chief World Cup Watcher,” a specialized experiential position created for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The post offers a fixed remuneration of $50,000 USD and requires the selected candidate to observe all 104 tournament matches from a bespoke personal office situated in the heart of Times Square, New York City.
The viewing experience will be exclusively facilitated by FOX One, FOX Sports’ exclusive direct-to-consumer streaming channel, in conjunction with the presentation of the extensive worldwide competition. The selected applicant will utilize every moment of the 39-day event — occurring from June 11 to July 19 — in an uninterrupted 4K live feed. The work entails not only observing the matches but also necessitates active, on-site social content creation, converting a private viewing room into a vibrant, communal watch party amidst the constant foot traffic of Times Square.
The application process is rigorously managed via Indeed's advanced matching technology to ensure position security. Candidates are required to update their Indeed profiles, modify their settings to “Employers can find you,” and emphasize pertinent experience in reporting, journalism, and content development. Additionally, applicants must upload a brief video on social media detailing their qualifications, tagged exclusively with the #FOXOneChiefWorldCupWatcher hashtag. The official appointment will be disclosed live on June 6 during the FOX transmission of the Boston Red Sox versus New York Yankees game. Fans may apply for the position of “Chief World Cup Watcher” by updating their profiles solely on Indeed from now until May 17.
