Fancy yourself a diehard football fanatic? You might be the person FOX Sports and Indeed are looking for. The two announced a job posting for a “Chief World Cup Watcher,” an experiential role built specifically for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Paying a flat $50,000 USD salary, the position tasks one successful candidate with viewing all 104 tournament matches from a custom-built personal office located directly in the center of New York City’s Times Square.
Driven by FOX Sports’ presentation of the massive global tournament, the viewing experience will be anchored entirely by FOX One, the network’s proprietary direct-to-consumer streaming service. The hired candidate will consume every minute of the 39-day event — running from June 11 to July 19 — via a continuous 4K live stream. Beyond simply watching the matches, the job mechanics require active, on-site social content creation, transforming a private viewing room into a highly public, communal watch party surrounded by the daily foot traffic of Times Square.
To secure the position, the application pipeline is strictly facilitated through Indeed’s sophisticated matching technology. Candidates must update their Indeed profiles, ensure their settings are adjusted to “Employers can find you,” and highlight relevant reporting, journalism, and content creation experience. Furthermore, applicants are required to post a short video on social media outlining their qualifications, tagged strictly with the #FOXOneChiefWorldCupWatcher hashtag. The official hire will be revealed live on June 6 during the FOX broadcast of the Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees.
Fans can apply for the “Chief World Cup Watcher” role by updating their profiles exclusively on Indeed now through May 17.
