World Cup 2026 Countdown

An analytical preview of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, bringing together tactical insight, statistical analysis and historical context ahead of the expanded 48-team tournament.

Working across the documentary, we developed the sonic direction through music editing and sound design, creating a sense of scale and momentum while keeping the focus on the voices and stories at the heart of the film.

Sound was used to move between expert analysis, archive material and the wider narrative of the tournament, adding pace and emphasis without distracting from the editorial.

The documentary film was completed with a full mix, balancing dialogue, music and sound design into a cohesive finish for ITV Sport.
