The half-hour shows will feature real-time reaction, on-the-ground reporting and expert analysis after the qualified national teams are assigned into 12 groups of four for the FIFA World Cup 2026.

The shows will originate from Miami and Washington, D.C., and will include updates from correspondents located in key host cities across the nation.

The channels are available across leading streaming services and connected TV devices, as well as on Telemundo-owned station digital platforms.

The programs will encore throughout Friday evening and across the weekend on all four FAST channels. Additional World Cup related programming will air on Noticias Telemundo Texas on Dec. 5, including “Houston: Camino al Mundial” (“Houston: Road to the World Cup”) and a live post-draw analysis.
