Fox Sports' broadcast of Argentina's dramatic 2-1 win over England in the FIFA World Cup 2026 semi-final drew an average of 15.1 million viewers, making it the most-watched men's World Cup semi-final in English-language US television history. The record came just a day after Fox's coverage of Spain's win over France had itself set the previous mark, underlining the surging American appetite for this year's tournament, which is being co-hosted in the United States.

England had looked set for victory after Anthony Gordon put them ahead in the 55th minute, but Argentina fought back late, with Enzo Fernández equalising in the 87th minute before Lautaro Martínez, assisted by Lionel Messi, scored the winner four minutes later. The Atlanta match peaked at 22.2 million viewers and was up 131% on Fox's 2022 semi-final average, sending defending champions Argentina through to Sunday's final against Spain while extending England's wait for a first title since 1966.
