Soccer fans who thought they might have to choose between watching the 2026 FIFA World Cup matches this summer or vacation aboard an MSC ship now know the fleet will show every match–all 104–live between June 11, 2026, and July 19, 2026.
Forty-eight teams, up from the previous 32, are ready to compete in the 2026 Soccer Tournament. Hosted by Canada, the United States, and Mexico, the first-ever tri-nation Soccer Championship is one of the most highly anticipated sports events. The 104 matches will take place in 16 cities and conclude at MetLife Stadium on July 19, 2026.
The cruise line will broadcast the matches across several public venues around the ship including sports bars, casino bars, poolside, and select lounges and theaters. Guests will also be able to take part in themed interactive games, quizzes and other family-friendly activities.
Guests can cheer on their favorite team while cruising the Mediterranean or the Caribbean, throughout Europe, South America and Alaska. While onboard, guests can enjoy all MSC Cruises has to offer–fine dining, world-class entertainment, luxurious spa and wellness options, and dedicated family and children spaces.
MSC Cruises is the just latest cruise line to announce it would show the games onboard its ships. Other major cruise lines which have confirmed they will screen the games include five Carnival Corporation brands–Holland America Line, Princess Cruises, Seabourn, P&O Cruises, and Cunard–as well as, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Line and Celebrity Cruises.
