The time has finally come for the 2026 World Cup, where 48 countries will compete across 104 matches in 16 host cities throughout the United States, Mexico, and Canada. From June 11 through July 19, expect to see soccer everywhere, alongside customers, patients, guests, employees, and visitors checking scores between meetings, meals, appointments, and shifts.
For most businesses, the goal is not to show full matches all day, it's to make the content on your digital signage feel timely. Your lobby TV, break room display, waiting room screen, or menu board still has its regular job to do: announcements, promotions, safety reminders, menus, wayfinding, internal updates, and more. But during a major tournament, a live score, upcoming match, group standing, or countdown gives people one more reason to check the screen content instead of their phone.
With the World Championship Sports Feed in your OptiSigns playlist, your screens stay fresh without turning into an all day sports broadcast.
Less Drama Than a Penalty Appeal
The Soccer World Championship Sports Feed is the zero-drama approach to getting live soccer updates all summer long. Log-in to your OptiSigns portal, add the Sports Feed to your screens' playlist, and scores, schedules, and standings stay current while you go about your day.
Sports Feeds are free on every OptiSigns plan, and take about two minutes to add from the Files/Assets library. You can also loop it in alongside other OptiSigns Sports Feeds which we refresh year-round, including the NBA feed, March Madness, MLS, college basketball, football, and more.
Three Layouts, Live Right Now
We’ve launched three pre-event layouts to help you build excitement before the first match.
Group Standings
With Group Stage and Group Standings, you'll get 48 countries mapped out into their 12 groups of four, complete with team flags. (In the opening rounds, every team plays the other three in its group before the knockout matches begin, so this is the map for the first two weeks).
The second the opening whistle blows, Group Standings starts tracking real-time standings. As teams battle for the knockout rounds, the table automatically updates to show who is safe, who is on the bubble, and who is packing their bags. It’s the ultimate pre-tournament map and a guaranteed conversation starter for break rooms, lobbies, or shift lounges where people love to debate who got stuck in the "Group of Death."
Showdowns At A Glance
This layout shows every match in order, with kickoff time, stadium, and both countries’ flags. Think of it as your “what’s on today?” screen. Put it in a clinic waiting room, a break room, a hotel lobby, or above the bar, anywhere people want to know when the next game starts without having to download another app.
Countdown to Kickoff
The Countdown to Kickoff layout displays the days, hours, and minutes until the first match on June 11. Add it to your playlist now to build anticipation before the tournament begins.
Key Dates For The World Championship
After The First Whistle
Once the matches begin, more layouts will be available for live tournament coverage. You can expect:
