iShowSpeed says he plans US tour during the 2026 FIFA World Cup
Popular IRL streamer Darren “iShowSpeed” Watkins Jr. revealed during his ongoing Caribbean Tour that he is planning a US tour for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup this summer.
iShowSpeed is riding high on his Caribbean IRL Tour, where he’s done everything, ranging from livestreaming underwater to pledging revenue towards Dominica for flood relief. There were also claims that the streamer had been given Guadeloupean citizenship, which proved to be incorrect.
However, iShowSpeed did set a record, becoming the first streamer to livestream across multiple countries in a single broadcast and he has now revealed his intention to tour the US once again because of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
iShowSpeed says he will be “right back with another tour” after wrapping up the Caribbean
iShowSpeed is currently on tour in the Caribbean, and on May 3, he shared details about his future plans after the Caribbean Tour ends. During his Antigua and Barbuda livestream, iShowSpeed told his chat there was a surprise, and he “still had a lot more to do”. The creator said the FIFA World Cup is just around the corner, and he’ll also return with another tour in his home country.
Fans weren’t surprised when iShowSpeed revealed his plans to livestream during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. This is a great time for streamers to broadcast, and from what iShowSpeed said, it appears he will livestream at many matches.
The World Cup is taking place primarily in the United States, with Mexico and Canada also hosting some matches — the tournament takes place from 11 June – 19 July. The United States begin their campaign against Paraguay on 13 June at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, so this could potentially be Speed’s first stream of the tournament. The highly-anticipated tournament has also seen plenty of World Cup crypto betting sites offer markets for all 104 games.
This isn’t the first time iShowSpeed will be touring the US. The streamer previously went on a cross-country tour, where he livestreamed from 25 cities during his “Speed Does America” showpiece. The streamer was on the road for over a month, meeting celebrities and fans, and even gifted his bus driver a Rolex. Some fans are, however, questioning if iShowSpeed will be able to pull a his highest viewership, claiming that he gets better numbers when streaming from abroad.

iShowSpeed says he wants to tour India again
In the same Antigua and Barbuda livestream, iShowSpeed talked about wanting to tour India, as there is so much to explore there. A viewer said that iShowSpeed has already done an India Tour, and the streamer replied that he had “only visited two cities”. He went on to say that he only “discovered 1% of India,” and there was “so much he didn’t do there”, outlining that his globetrotting is showing no sign of slowing down.
It’s important to note that iShowSpeed visited India in 2023, during the Cricket World Cup. The streamer was seen sporting a cricket jersey and meeting fans. He also met Indian singer Daler Mehndi, or the ‘Tunak Tunak Man’ as iShowSpeed referred to him.
The streamer was also apparently bitten by a snake during his tour of India, in which he travelled for less than a week and only explored Mumbai and Delhi, which explains why he may want to return to the country. iShowSpeed hasn’t yet announced details, but this Indian fans are already expressing excitement about a possible return visit to the vast country.
