Fox to broadcast 'more than half' of 2018 World Cup games on free-to-air broadcast network

You won’t need a cable or satellite television subscription to watch the majority of the games at the 2018 World Cup in Russia. All you’ll need is an antenna.

David Neal, the executive producer of Fox’s World Cup coverage, announced Tuesday that “more than half” of the 64 games to be played at next summer’s tournament will be shown on the network’s flagship over-the-air broadcast channel. The rest will be shown on Fox Sports 1.

“It’s a huge commitment by our company,” Neal told the Inquirer and Daily News at a flashy presentation of Fox’s coverage plans held for advertisers and media in Manhattan.
