Chiliz Unveils Fan Token Roadmap Ahead of 2026 World Cup Push

Chiliz unveiled a three‑phase roadmap in its 2030 manifesto to expand Fan Tokens ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States. The plan includes a return to the US market with new Fan Token launches tied to national teams, marking a shift in 2026 from experimentation to execution.

The roadmap schedules first US Fan Token partnerships for Q1 2026 and national‑team token launches in summer 2026, aligned with major tournaments. An omnichain rollout beginning in Q1 will bridge Fan Tokens to external blockchains to improve liquidity, enable cross‑chain trading and open access to decentralized finance applications.

In Q2 2026 Chiliz will activate a new value‑accrual model that directs 10% of all Fan Token revenues to CHZ buybacks. Product upgrades are slated for mid‑2026, including a new Socios.com release with DeFi wallet integration, and later in the year performance‑based mechanics that let match results affect token supply.
