US seizes over 1,000 domains used for illegal World Cup 2026 streams

The US Department of Justice seized over 1,000 domains used to stream FIFA World Cup 2026 matches without authorization across three waves during the tournament. The enforcement operation, called Operation Offsides, removed nearly 400 domains by June and continued with additional takedowns that exceeded 1,000 total.

Why it matters: Organizations managing intellectual property and broadcast rights need to track government domain seizure efforts; practitioners supporting law enforcement or ISPs should monitor IP enforcement trends that affect domain infrastructure.
