Globo’s renegotiated deal for rights to the 2026 Fifa World Cup has given Fifa hope of extracting even more from Brazil than it otherwise would have done, as its sales agent LiveMode prepares to take an additional premium package of rights to the market.

LiveMode has taken on strategic investment from US growth equity firm General Atlantic and Brazilian financial services company XP Investimentos, backers of one of two groups bidding to control commercial operations in Brazilian football.

LiveMode has been renewed as Fifa’s exclusive media rights sales agent in Brazil for the men’s World Cup, providing the agency with a far more attractive package of rights for the 2026 tournament than it sold in 2022.

Agency LiveMode has no plans to compete directly against Brazil’s established media companies for all-encompassing exclusive rights deals despite racking up a powerful audience base on streamer Cazé TV.
