Skip the corner office dreams – the ultimate summer gig pays someone $50,000 just to watch soccer. Fox Sports has partnered with job platform Indeed to recruit a “Chief World Cup Watcher” for what they’re billing as the season’s most coveted position.
The selected individual will view all 104 tournament matches from within a specially constructed glass enclosure positioned in New York City’s bustling Times Square. This unique setup will transform each game into a public spectacle for the countless visitors and workers who pass through the area daily.
The role involves streaming every single minute of action via Fox One, the tournament’s official digital platform for 2026, while simultaneously producing and posting social media content throughout the viewing experience.
“It will be the best summer job on the market, but only for one wild fan who is up to the once-in-a-lifetime task,” the companies announced in their joint statement.
Soccer enthusiasts interested in this opportunity can submit applications directly through Indeed’s website. The selection will be announced on June 6 during Fox’s coverage of the Major League Baseball matchup featuring the Boston Red Sox versus the New York Yankees.
This year’s tournament represents the largest World Cup ever organized, expanding to include 48 participating nations. The competition will span multiple venues throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico, running from June 11 through July 19.
