Since 1986, we’ve had the privilege of bringing the @FIFAWorldCup into your living rooms, and, in 2026, we’ll do it all again. ❤️

Optus would have needed a FTA partner (or a mechanism to have some of it shown free)

Not interested in giving 7 a bargain deal again

2002 was shared with Channel 9 and of course 2018 was with Optus Sport

Good to read that SBS has secured the 2026 World Cup. Especially that there will be more matches than usual - with more teams competing.

The FIFA Men’s World Cup and the Tour De France are their DNA and flagship sports

or Optus Sport or Stan/Nine. I’m sure they would have bidded big for it!

Let’s hope SBS On Demand has a “cut to the chase” option to go straight to the kickoff on replayed matches so we won’t have to put up with 30 minutes of waffle (and ads) before the game!

I think SBS will have to sell a lot of advertising packages to recoup the higher cost to the rights due to a big increase in matches.

Where would we have been without the wonderful SBS world game commitment

BigVic · October 31, 2023, 10:11am

Schedule should be released by end of the year

BigVic · November 9, 2023, 5:58am

SBS will air the 2026 World Cup Qualifier between Brazil and Argentina on November 22.

Is this exclusive? Or shared with one of the subscriber channels.

foxyrover · November 10, 2023, 4:19am

Don’t think it’s exclusive, but don’t know where else it would be (other than betting platforms). They’re only advertising it as “Live and Free” rather than “Exclusive, Live and Free” like they are for the actual WC or the TDF.

Pacific Games starts on Sunday to be broadcasted by SBS.

Opening Ceremony Sunday night from 6pm on SBS ON DEMAND then 10 hours of coverage each day from midday on SBS Viceland daily.

SBS to Bring All the Best Action from 2024 Dakar Rally

The Dakar Rally returns to Saudi Arabia for the fifth consecutive edition in 2024 and SBS will again bring audiences all the best action exclusive and free from January 6-20.

Toby Price

Watch daily highlights from the 2024 edition of the Dakar Rally available earlier each morning via SBS On Demand , plus more motorsport.

The Dakar Rally is an annual rally raid organised by the Amaury Sport Organisation and is famous for its tough terrain and off-road endurance, where an expansive field must traverse sand, rocks, gravel, and tarmac as quick as possible.

Spanning 5,000 kilometres, the 2024 route will encompass a prologue and 12 competitive stages, taking drivers from Al-Ula and across the Empty Quarter before finishing in Yanbu.

Over half of the journey will feature new stages, according to race organisers, with the new 48-hour marathon expected to be the most challenging as competitors navigate 600 kilometres and an overnight stoppage.

Dakar Rally 2024 course sets new challenges for competitors

SBS viewers will witness motorcycles, cars, quads, and trucks take on the difficult conditions, where the battle between each discipline’s heavyweights will be all the more crucial given the race kicks off the first round of the 2024 World Rally-Raid Championship.

Australian Toby Price will compete in the Dakar Rally after signing an extension with Red Bull KTM Factory Racing, while defending champion Nasser Al-Attiyah will return in Prodrive colours after his contract with Toyota came to an end.

For Price, next year’s race will be his 10th time in the desert and the 36-year-old is determined to both make amends for last year’s narrow defeat and add to his two titles.

“I’ve been racing for KTM for 15 years now and for the factory since 2015, so it feels great to be able to race the biggest, toughest rally for them once again,” Price said.

“It’s been a long journey with the KTM brand and one that I think it’s fair to say has brought both sides heaps of success along the way. With this contract extension signed now, I’m really looking forward to focusing on the Dakar early next year and hopefully keeping KTM up front.”
