2026 FIFA World Cup

Same. It will be at 5a so very early. I will watch it on DVR later in the day before the next batch of live games.

 

[RandomMe]

Except that this one is only on SPORT.TV 5.

Yeah, SPORT.TV 5 gets all the matches, SPORT.TV 1 only relays a handful of them. And RTP, SIC and TVI receive a sum of 20 matches.

I won't watch it live because it will air overnight here.

Me too, along with everything that is held between midnight and 06:00 Hungarian time.

The broadcasting rights here are shared between YLE and MTV. I wish everything to be on 1 channel only.

"Everything on 1 channel only"

Such arrangements are harder to find nowadays

Closest I can think of is TVNZ. TVNZ 1 airs 30+ matches while the rest is on a TVNZ+ subscription tier for the championship. However the web stream is "barely 1080p"

 

[Markus]

Is it that hard? If one channel is willing to pay a lot more, the rights would definitely only be for one channel

World Cup different this year, with 48 teams competing instead of the traditional 32. A lot of soccer purists don't like this, because they say it will water down the quality of the game, but I tend to like the fact that it will be statistically more difficult for the big three (ie. Brazil, Argentina and Germany) to dominate as they usually do.

I still hope Portugal finally bags its first win

The first match was pretty interesting, 3 red cards in total is something alright. I missed the South Korea vs Czechia match due to watching the Stanley Cup final. I see Korea won that.

The USA gets everything on FOX and they are using FOX Sports 1 too. They also streamed the first game on Tubi free. Telemundo is the other US broadcaster for Spanish, they are also on Peacock in Spanish.

Australia is all on SBS and their sister channel SBS Viceland. Canada is all Bell networks of TSN/RDS (French) and CTV.

I recently came back home for the summer, and watching Fifa across Europe is inconvenient. It’s very early. But I’m glad there are evening matches.

Yesterday, Antena 1 has made it up to reach the biggest number on national audience, with the total of 1.3 million viewers, during the match between Mexico vs South Africa.

Canada vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina ended 1-1, the first tie.

We'll see what will happen with USA vs. Paraguay. Pretty sure the USA can do something. Paraguay is experienced but isn't a strong team IIRC.

Would be so sweet since it's Ronaldo's final year in the WC. I realistically don't see them winning but they have a very good chance play until the semi-finals.

Today’s matches. Moscow times. (FIFA app)

----
I remember a funny situation with the FIFA 2018, which was held in Russia. I used two accounts in bookmaker and placed bets on two different teams. In the end, there was a draw at the very last second and I lost my money. After that, I never bet again

Speaking of which, CN LA just told Instagram that Paraguay exists.

Maybe Paraguay will finally win in 2122.
