On October 9, 2026, Netflix Inc. committed US$200 million for broadcast rights to the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup, according to sources familiar with the deal. The streaming service had previously announced its acquisition of U.S. and Canadian rights for both the 2027 and 2031 tournaments. Earlier that day, reports indicated Victor Montagliani would withdraw from the FIFA presidential race, clearing the path for Gianni Infantino's fourth term in the 2027 election with minimal resistance.

Also on October 8, Betano suspended advanced sponsorship talks with FIFA for the 2027 Women’s World Cup in Brazil, citing severe regulatory shifts and advertising bans that would prevent brand display in host country stadiums. Previously, on October 7, former Tottenham defender Ramon Vega became the first challenger to incumbent Gianni Infantino, announcing his intent to run in next year's FIFA presidential election.

GENEVA (AP) -- FIFA President Gianni Infantino already is in globe-trotting campaign mode more than five months ahead of the vote when 211 member federations decide who will lead the world soccer body until 2031. The March election comes as Infantino faces the biggest leadership crisis since he took office in 2016, triggered by backlash against his now-withdrawn plan to sell private investors a stake in the commercial rights to the World Cup and other FIFA tournaments.
