Overview
- FOX Sports said Thursday it hired Mexico’s all-time leading scorer, Javier “Chicharito” Hernández, as a studio analyst for its 2026 World Cup coverage.
- Hernández called it his first time in broadcasting and said he aims to offer direct, thoughtful analysis.
- FOX plans to feature him on its television coverage plus digital outlets like foxone and foxsoccer.
- Reports indicate he could share the studio with figures such as Thierry Henry and Zlatan Ibrahimović, though FOX has not detailed specific pairings.
- The role marks a turn after his contract at Chivas was not renewed following a missed playoff penalty, drawing fresh attention as Mexico hosts the June 11 World Cup opener at Estadio Azteca.
