Fans have praised ITV's coverage on social media. One viewer wrote on X: "ITV [is] in a different league. It's not even close." Another said: "ITV coverage of the World Cup has been great and the highlights are amazing." However, some criticized commentary choices, with one fan noting: "Why for the matches we can't watch live are you having the best commentators like Drury, Alan Smith but on prime time matches where we watch live, it's Dixon."
