On top of that, matches in 2026 will be played in four different time zones, making some match starts on the west coast inconvenient for those on the east coast. For example, a match that starts at 3:00 pm on the west coast starts at 12:00 pm on the east coast, when most people are at work. However, and to your point, while the time zones line up in North America, Central America, and South America, most of the people who will be watching the games live on TV live outside those areas, and will be negatively affected by matches that start at 9:00 pm or 10:00 pm local time in the U.S. Since the field was expanded from 36 to 48 teams, more matches will be played (104 total), and Boston Red Sox 125th Anniversary (1901 2026) Charlie Brown & Snoopy T Shirt need to be crammed into the schedule, necessitating earlier and later start times. Still, your point is germane. Matches that started at 12:00 pm in the three host countries would air at times convenient to Europe, Africa, and parts of Asia.

You might notice that it is 2026. Matches start in less than five months. And contracts have been signed. So, so many contracts. Partial payments have been made. I seriously doubt that those contracts have escape clauses that trigger at anything short of outright war. So would it increase costs? Yes. It would dramatically increase costs, and likely land FIFA in a decade of ongoing lawsuits. Could Australia and New Zealand step up? Do you imagine that there are massive numbers of stadiums and hotels, etc., of the appropriate size that are sitting fallow? Could you move those other events? It takes considerable time to prepare for the hosting of a Boston Red Sox 125th Anniversary (1901 2026) Charlie Brown & Snoopy T Shirt like the World Cup or the Olympics. I would say the last window of opportunity to alter the hosting rights was in late 2023 or early 2024 at the very latest. To do so at just a few months notice is almost entirely impractical.

The F1 paddock has a new power player: Christian Horner is officially in “active negotiations” to buy a 24% minority stake in Alpine. Reports this week confirm that the investment group Otro Capital (which includes Ryan Reynolds and Travis Kelce) is looking to offload its share, and Horner is the lead name in a new consortium eyeing the entry. Horner, who left Red Bull last year with a rumored $100 million payout, told the press in Dublin that he feels he has “unfinished business” and will only return as a partner/owner. This potential deal is particularly spicy as Alpine prepares to switch to Boston Red Sox 125th Anniversary (1901 2026) Charlie Brown & Snoopy T Shirt for the 2026 season, potentially putting Horner in direct competition with his former employers using their biggest rival’s engines.
