RTVE Television is preparing for an unprecedented coverage of the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The public broadcaster will mobilize a large-scale technical and human team to broadcast all matches live. The programming will include analysis, interviews, and exclusive reports, available both on television and digital platforms, marking a milestone in its history.
Technical innovation for a global broadcast 🌍
RTVE's technical deployment for the 2026 World Cup will be ambitious. The broadcaster will set up production centers in all three host cities, connected by satellite links and high-capacity fiber optics. State-of-the-art cameras will be used, including 8K systems and drones for aerial shots. The signal will be distributed through its RTVE Play platform, with support for multiple devices. The human team will exceed 200 people, including journalists, technicians, and producers.
And meanwhile, in the Torrespaña newsroom... ☕
To ensure no detail is missed, RTVE has hired a team of interns who will take turns watching the microwave and making sure the coffee never gets cold during the matches. It is rumored that the budget for underwater cameras in the locker rooms has been rejected, but there will be a drone dedicated to filming the endless queues at the stadium restrooms. All for the audience.
