Cruisegoers will have lots to keep them entertained this summer

Football fans setting sail with MSC Cruises this summer are in for a treat, as the cruise line has announced it will broadcast every single match from the 2026 Football Championship live across its entire fleet.

The tournament, which kicks off on June 11 and runs through to July 19, is making history as the first-ever Football Championship to be jointly hosted by three nations – Canada, Mexico, and the United States.


This means supporters won't need to miss a moment of the action while enjoying their holiday at sea. A total of 48 teams will be battling it out in what's shaping up to be one of the year's most eagerly awaited sporting events.

Guests can catch all the live action in a variety of spots around the ships, so there's something for every type of fan.

Looking for a buzzing atmosphere? Head to the sports bars or casino bars. Prefer something more relaxed? The poolside LED screens offer the perfect spot to watch while soaking up the sun.

There are also designated lounges and theatres available, creating a fantastic vibe for supporters from all corners of the globe.

Beyond the live matches, there is plenty more to keep guests entertained throughout the tournament.

MSC Cruises has put together a programme of football-themed activities suitable for all ages, including interactive games, quizzes, and family-friendly fun.

Whether you are cruising through the Caribbean or exploring the Mediterranean, you can cheer on your national team while taking in some of the world's most stunning destinations.

When not glued to the football, there's no shortage of things to do on board – from gourmet dining and world-class entertainment to dedicated kids' facilities and luxurious spa treatments.

In other news, the cruise line has shared a sneak peek at its new ship, MSC World Asia. It revealed the artwork that will feature aboard the ship, which is the line's much-anticipated new flagship.

The collection will include large-scale installations and striking sculptures, all created exclusively for the new World Class ship.
