Broadcaster schedules can change close to kickoff. Use this page as a starting point, then confirm the exact match listing with the broadcaster before the game.

Region-Specific Watch Notes

Australia viewers should treat SBS as the starting point, then check the broadcaster's own TV guide or app on match week. World Cup rights can be split by language, platform, or match package, so the safest plan is to pair this page with the local kickoff page and the linked source.

This guide links to the rights source we used rather than copying a broadcaster's full schedule. Channel allocations, app access, and free-to-air splits should be checked again close to kickoff.

Match-Day Viewing Tips

For Australian viewers, many games will be breakfast or workday fixtures. Save must-watch matches to your calendar and check whether a replay is easier for weekday group games.
