As the FIFA World Cup 2026™ kicks off across North America, Google is making it easier for you to follow every moment no matter where you are. Whether you’re searching for the latest scores, navigating your way to a match or looking for a recap of the day's biggest plays, Search, Maps, Waze and the Gemini app can help bring you closer to the action.
Now, when you search for soccer, it’s even easier to quickly access real-time information about the game, like visuals for live scores, lineups, standings, brackets, stories and social content. For example, if you’re looking up Mexico vs. South Africa mid-match, you can see each team's score, standings and a carousel of other live match info. You can even pin a match’s live score to your iOS or Android device’s lock screen by following a specific match or team. You’ll receive live updates before and after each game.
- Dive deep into the details with AI Mode in Search.
You can use AI Mode in Search for everything from agentic ticket booking to asking complex questions around rules, players, teams and more.
Say you’re trying to learn about different types of soccer formations and when coaches might use each one. You can ask AI Mode to create an interactive visual that’s tailored to your specific question. These generative UI capabilities are currently available for AI Mode Pro and Ultra subscribers and will be available for everyone in Search this summer, free of charge.
