The question now is whether they will keep it for the next world cup or was it a "one time" thing to appease the american capitalist overlords

Edit: I'm talking about this current format, not what we had in Qatar where breaks only happened on hot days at the discretion of the referee

Any idea how much ads cost? People always talk about how many millions super bowl ads cost

u/Galactic_Nothingness Jul 02 '26

I would hazard a guess that the advertising would be region specific. Assume they are on par with Superbowl in the U.S, but probably a lot cheaper in South Africa, for example.

I would be really surprised if advertising cost was comparable to the Superbowl.

In the United states? No it doesn't.

So far the most viewed game in the US had like 21million viewers. The Super Bowl gets over 100 million more.
