NASA to collect global temperature data during 2026 World Cup

NASA will collect global temperature measurements during the 2026 World Cup by asking fans to submit photos of their local playing fields. Through the GLOBE program, the space agency requests supporters to observe air and surface temperatures at local pitches, parks, or schools.

This initiative aims to gather environmental data from locations worldwide where football is played. The project runs alongside the tournament hosted by Mexico, Canada, and the United States.
