Fandango has partnered with Telemundo to screen live Spanish-language coverage of the FIFA World Cup 2026 in 160 U.S. theaters, including over 80 AMC locations. This initiative will bring the tournament to theatrical venues across major markets from June 11 through July 19, 2026.
This Fandango-Telemundo partnership expands the distribution of major live sports, moving beyond traditional broadcast and streaming to physical theatrical venues. It highlights an ongoing effort by cinema chains, including AMC, to diversify revenue streams by offering communal viewing experiences for marquee events like the FIFA World Cup. For Telemundo, it provides an additional, high-fidelity platform to reach Spanish-speaking audiences and potentially attract new viewers. The success of this model could influence future licensing decisions for major live events, particularly those with significant cultural resonance. Watch for detailed attendance and revenue figures post-event to gauge long-term viability.
