This summer's tournament in Canada, Mexico, and the United States, which kicks off on Thursday 11 June and runs until the final on Sunday 19 July, will be bigger than ever before after the expansion to 48 teams.
Kelly Cates, Mark Chapman, Gabby Logan and Alex Scott will host the coverage from Salford, in "a brand new, state-of-the-art immersive studio" that will "transport viewers to 16 cities across three host nations".
Alongside that trio, BBC's pundits for World Cup 2026 include Wayne Rooney, Micah Richards, Joe Hart, Paul Robinson, Steph Houghton, Ellen White, Danny Murphy, Scott Brown, Rachel Corsie, James McFadden, Gaël Clichy, César Azpilicueta, Benni McCarthy, Ashley Williams, Thomas Frank and former international referee Darren Cann.
Familiar voices like Guy Mowbray, Jonathan Pearce and Robyn Cowen will lead the commentary teams across the TV broadcasts, while its extensive radio coverage – 92 live commentaries and coverage of all 104 matches – will feature the iconic tones of John Murray and Ian Dennis, as well as a host of others.
In a first, the broadcaster will "deliver always-on World Cup coverage across YouTube, TikTok and social channels".
The BBC's plans include showing the build-up and first 10 minutes of many of the tournament's biggest matches on YouTube and TikTok, as well as "alternative second screen watch-alongs and instant post-match reaction to interactive technology, new digital first shows and immersive VR experiences following every England and Scotland match".
