Channels and Apps
TVNZ
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
New Zealand viewers should treat TVNZ 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 New Zealand viewers, expect a lot of morning football and some late-morning finishes. Calendar reminders help because the local match date can differ from the host-city date.
