Broadcast to the World is the sixth studio album released by American punk rock band Zebrahead. The album was influenced by Lit's A Place in the Sun (1999). It is their first album with new co-vocalist/rhythm guitarist Matty Lewis, who replaced former member Justin Mauriello after he left the group in late 2004.

Shawn Harris of The Matches created the artwork for the album, and for the band's follow-up album, Phoenix.

On October 17, 2006, Broadcast to the World was made available for streaming via Alternative Press. It was released in the U.S. on October 24 through Icon.

The album was met with positive reviews. Allmusic reviewer Rick Anderson called them a heavy rock band that are "...owing far more to the old school than the new, but that adds the welcome element of solid melodic hooks to the mix." He said that the music had elements of The Clash and Rancid. He also praised its range of songs to enable the band's audience to either sing/rap along, mosh along to or yell along to.

A review by Sputnikmusic stated that they were "one of those "I-can't-believe-they-haven't-hit-it-big" bands", calling them underrated, especially on this album. The review stated that there were elements of heavy metal, pop punk and punk rock joined with their primary rap rock sound.
