The 2026 World Cup kicks off with 48 nations competing across the United States, Canada and Mexico, and BBC Sport is rolling out enhanced digital coverage to match. The broadcaster has launched several new app features designed to deliver comprehensive tournament access directly to fans' mobile devices.

BBC Sport's 3D experience stands out as the headline addition, offering viewers immersive control over live matches, replays and highlights. Users can pick camera angles, rewind key moments, and relive goals from individual player perspectives while accessing real-time match data. The feature debuts for Canada's opening match against Bosnia & Herzegovina on June 12. Lock screen notifications now display live scores that update throughout matches, with the option to dismiss them if spoilers are unwanted.

Sports fans can test their knowledge through the BBC predictor game, forecasting results while competing globally. Daily quizzes and a Guess the World Cup Star game provide additional engagement during late kickoffs. BBC Shorts delivers vertical, fullscreen video covering breaking news, behind-the-scenes content and highlights without traditional distractions.

The app's improved search function returns both articles and topics more efficiently, while My Sport lets users customize their homepage with coverage from specific countries. Whether following England, Scotland or any of the 48 participating nations, the app ensures personalized World Cup access throughout the tournament.
