Fox has adopted a split-screen advertising approach during hydration breaks at the 2026 World Cup to address viewer complaints about full-screen ads blocking on-field action. While some matches feature split-screen ads, others revert to full-screen, and pricing for these spots has increased significantly.

Despite mixed viewer reactions, the approach is seen as beneficial for revenue and audience engagement.
