Two of the largest and most consequential soccer tournaments this aspect of the World Cup are kicking off this month — beginning at present — that includes the very best gamers on planet earth, and FOX Sports has wall-to-wall protection!

In different phrases … bid your loved ones and buddies farewell, and buckle up for nearly NONSTOP SOCCER!

TMZ Sports spoke to U.S. soccer legend Alexi Lalas — who will anchor FOX’s in-studio protection — and we requested him to interrupt down each tourneys.

“We’ve got a big summer of soccer when it comes to FOX,” Lalas stated. “We’re going to be burning the midnight oil and the morning oils. Come on air. At times, we will go right from the Euros that are happening over in Germany, segue right into an afternoon lunch, linner, whatever, and then into the evening when it comes to Copa America.”

“Every type of soccer need that you ever have is going to be on display and for you. Pull up a chair, have as much as you want. It’s going to be fun on and off the field.”

FYI, the UEFA Euro begins play on June 14 … after which per week later — with The Euro’s raging — Copa America begins on June 20.

7+ hours a day. 78 matches in 30 days — with the world’s finest gamers competing.

“You have teams like France with Kylian Mbappe, England with Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham. By the way, Portugal with potentially the last dance when it comes to Cristiano Ronaldo and the host Germany, and Germany’s Germany. And that’s to crown the champion of Europe.”

Not to be outdone, heading over to South America for Copa, they have arguably the sport’s biggest participant ever, Lionel Messi, suiting up. Then there’s Vini Junior and a bunch of different elite footballers.

Also competing is the United States staff, led by Christian Pulisic — who’re 2026 World Cup hosts (together with Mexico and Canada) — and are one of many 16 nations that can play for the elusive Copa America title.

Check out the complete interview with Lalas … we additionally discuss whether or not this U.S. staff is essentially the most gifted squad ever, and if they may realistically win Copa, and far more!
