The ones on the 10th for CONMEBOL are missing, Brazil Argentina is one of them.
That part of the TV/streaming schedule hasn’t been finalized yet, but we’ll add what we know shortly. Thanks.
any chance of the Northern Ireland game on the 11th being televised
?
It’s live only on ESPN3 and Sling Orange.
You can watch it on TV on tape delay at 4am ET on ESPN Deportes on the morning of November 12.
Always say this – there’s amazing coverage of soccer in the USA. Brilliant stuff.
Thanks for listing it all nice & clearly in one place. Appreciated.
Really looking forward to the USA v Mexico game.
love mexico no matter what
Can you show the south american schedule of remaining games qualifying for Rusia 2018 thanks
Juan, the schedule has been updated to reflect all of the remaining World Cup qualifiers for South America and the other regions.
World cup on fox??? And TWC wont provide FoxSports2 in HD this is disastrous plus Fox commentators are horrendous , horrific news
A lot of games say tv tbd at 2.45 all games at same time what is tbd
To be determined. We know what the kick off times are, but the TV channels haven’t been determined yet (we know the matches will be on FOX and Telemundo, for example, but FOX could decide to put them on FS1, FS2, FOX Soccer Plus, FOX or other channels; Telemundo could decide between Universo and Telemundo).

To Be Determined
Still waiting for news on whether the New Zealand v Peru match will be shown on US tv. Fingers crossed!
Are you sure about the Australia vs Honduras being on ESPN3? The Honduras vs Australia game is on Telemundo on Nov 10 confirmed. The return leg is not on Telemundo, but most likely on Bein Sports. Where are you seeing that ESPN3 has this game? Thanks
Hi Fernando, according to my source at ESPN, the Australia-Honduras second leg will be on ESPN3. Of course, the programming schedules are subject to change, but that’s what we know today. The ESPN3 broadcast would be an English-language feed, not Spanish-language.
ESPN 3 has the rights to all Australian domestic Internationals hence why they have that game. I’m surprised they don’t have English rights to the away leg honestly.
What channel will the New Zealand vs Peru November 11 1st leg Playoff Game be televised.
It hasn’t been decided yet, but it looks most likely that beIN SPORTS will probably acquire the rights to the two legs.
Any chance the peruvian game will be televised?
The Peru-New Zealand will most probably be televised by beIN SPORTS. We’re trying to get final confirmation before we publish the news.
Hey there, are we sure on the accuracy of these? ESPN TV Guide has the NI vs Switzerland game listed on ESPN 2. Also, will the Ireland v Denmark game on the 14th not be on tv? Match Pass is just online right? Thanks.
Hi Stu, the programming guides are always subject to change (networks often make late decisions regarding where the games will be televised or streamed). We’ve updated the TV guide so it’s current as of right now, which reflects a few changes. The TV schedule has a “Last updated” date so you can check often and see if/when an additional update has been made.
Thanks Chris. You guys are awesome. A random question if you don’t mind. I emailed a sports bar in California to see if they had Fox Sports 2 so I could catch the Ireland second leg on Nov 14th. The guy responded and said that they carried only the “local” Fox Sports 2. Any idea what that would mean? I’ve followed up but had no response. Thanks for any light you could shed.
They probably mean the local FOX Sports regional affiliate network, so — for example — the local one to me is FOX Sports Florida. And there are local regional FOX Sports affiliates throughout the country. These channels are completely separate than FOX Sports 2 (aka FS2).
It’s possible they may not have FS2.
You may want to ask them if they have DIRECTV. If so, the channel numbers for the soccer networks (including FS2) can be found at http://worldsoccertalk.com/soccer-channels-directv/
I see. Thanks for such a great response!
Hey Chris I know this is slightly off topic, but do you know why Ireland and Greece are hosting their respective second legs despite being the lower seed?
It was a draw and the order of the home and away games was draw too
Will the Korea vs. Colombia game be shown on US TV?
As of right now, there are no plans for the game to be shown on US TV or streaming.
who are the announcers on fox deportes Denmark vs Ireland’?
John Laguna and Mariano Trujillo
Will tomorrow’s Italy vs. Sweden game be available on DIRECTV NOW? I tried getting the info through a chat with no success.
Yes.
The match will be televised on FS 1.
And FS 1 is available on all 4 “packages” of DirecTV Now.
Christopher Harris,
Hey Bud, could really use your help. could you please tell me where/what channel i could watch the Peru vs Scotland Game ?
It’s live on Pay Per View in the United States via cable and satellite Pay Per View via iN demand, Vubiquity, DISH and DIRECTV.
Otherwise, you can watch it on delay beginning at 10pm ET on beIN SPORTS.
Thanks for the Reply Chris. Why are some of these friendlies so hard to watch?
So hard to watch because they’re boring, or so hard to find on TV or streaming? If it’s the latter question, there isn’t as much interest from viewers so there’s less of an interest from the broadcasters.
Chris, do you what channels are going to show the South American qualifiers?
The rights haven’t been finalized yet. Just like CONMEBOL to leave it to the last minute.
This one is going to be complicated because some of the nations are selling the rights individually themselves to their home games.
What is Fite is it english language? i thought combebol wcq would be on bein sports
In previous years, beIN SPORTS had the rights. But moving forward, they’re exclusive to FITE which is a pay-per-view streaming site. Live broadcasts of CONMEBOL games will be $100 per game.
Games will be available in English and Spanish.
Is there any news of CONCACAF world cup qualifying tv deal in English and Spanish rights?
😳$100 PER GAME 😱
ive never heard of fite before this
why so high?
That’s a ripoff……$100 ????? per game????….
South American qualifiers are the best, but what happened with Bein Sports?
I can’t believe MediaPro sold the Conmebol rights to a PPV distributor and they are selling single games for $100. That is insane. Somebody needs to dig up the backstory on that. Who would pay that price per game?
Well after a little more research the news is still depressing. FITA ppv was offering a Round 1 bundle pack for $99. So you could see all 5 games for that price in round 1. That averages $20 per game but can you imagine the cost for the entire qualification cycle? What a bummer. I hope it fails spectacularly.
why would you pay the $100 when the games are overlapping each other. Look at games times and they all start maybe 30 minutes to 1 hour apart. You can’t watch all the games. Watching soccer in this country is getting worse. Have to pay for Sling, Peacock now this crap. It will never grow if you have to pay to watch every game.
Chris, is it 100% official and final that FITE will be the only network showing CONMEBOL qualifiers, no other channel? Meaning BEIN Sports will officially not be airing conmebol qualifiers?
Yes, it’s 100% official. FITE has the exclusive rights.
Will they be on PPV or steaming only. I looked for the FITE app on my LG tv and it didn’t pop up. Why wouldn’t anyone else bid for games.
Did they buy the rights for all 18 rounds or just the first 2 rounds?
All of the rounds.
How do you know for sure Chris? Are you a reporter?
Hello? YES!
Price has gone up to $30 lmfao, wtf. Time to do VPN.
Chris, wait a minute! Is Bein sports airing the Venezuela vs Paraguay game on October 13th? Im confused..
Yes, that’s the only one from Round 1 they’ll be showing. I have an article in the works which will explain everything. Should be live tonight or tomorrow on the homepage.
Article above says fanatiz will show conmebol. Does anyone know the price.?
Here are all of the details and options:

How to watch France vs Ukraine and Portugal vs Spain?
Both France vs. Ukraine and Portugal-Spain are on ESPN+ on Wednesday. Both the matches are friendlies.
Fellow south americans who live in the U.S…. please don’t waste your hard worked money on those ppv games! Is this 2004 again? I remember back then it was normal for south american qualifiers to be available only on ppv.. Now, I don’t understand why would anyone pay any money in order to watch those games when you consider factors such as:
1- Several national teams won’t be able to count with some of their most important players.
2- Because of covid, many players haven’t seen any action in the last few months… so I wouldn’t be surprised if these upcoming qualifying games show poor football.
3- something that makes south american qualifiers so wonderful is the presence of energetic and passionate fans in the stadiums… however as we already know, no fans will be allowed during the upcoming qualifying games.
Something I fail to understand is why so many south American qualifying games take place almost at the same time! obviously this would be justified if we were talking about the final qualifying games however the qualification competition is just starting! there’s no reason to have so many games almost at the same time… doesn’t this hurt the smaller teams since most fans around the world would rather see a game involving Argentina rather than a game involving Paraguay and Peru?
Thank you for the article.
Lester…. if you don’t understand why anyone would pay money to watch a futbol (soccer) game, please save your opinion… You clearly don’t share the passion other south americans do. Are you really trying to encourage south americans not to watch their national futbol team on a world cup qualification game?? what a waste of time!!. I thought you were going to share some magical way to watch ALL the games for free when you said not to PPV the games but this??? really? unbelievable…
It is stupid to have these games on PPV. I for one will not pay for a game on top of my soccer packages and tv bill. Sorry that is too much. Liked it las go around when they showed the games on BeIN. You can take the PPV and shove it.
The Conmebol South American qualifiers for World Cup 2022 as PPV for US fans is a major rip-off. I am not paying a nickel to watch it. I already pay for Fanatiz yet would still have to pay outrageous PPV rates to watch these games? Hell no!!! I’ll go ahead and listen to the matches for free on streaming radio like in the old days.
Did FITETV lose money on the qualifiers??
Goltv advertised Bolivia vs Ecuador tonight for 11/12 3pm so looks like they’ve taken the Bein spot of one live match and delayed rights.
Now they’re advertising Colombia vs Uruguay which is also an afternoon match on Friday, so indeed something has changed.
GolTV will have the games available via their pay-per-view streaming service GolTV Play for $29.99 per game.
Oh okay, thx
FITE thinks they’re gonna fare better by offering the same game at the same price but just on a different platform? And what a platform! Lol @ FITE
Hi! Is the CAF doing anything this upcoming international break? If so, how do I watch it?
Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers will be live on beIN SPORTS throughout the international break.
Thanks. Are you guys going to post a TV schedule for it? I can’t find one.
We’re working on it. Thanks! 🙂
Who owns the tv rights for AFC World Cup Qualifiers? (Also, thank you for posting the AFCON qualifiers tv schedule.)
No one in the U.S. has acquired the rights for those qualifying games.
Is FITE out of the game? I don’t see any promotions on their website. Seems like Integrated is shopping them around.
Nothing official has been announced yet, but I do know that Fanatiz will be streaming the games via PPV.
Who has the rights to the UEFA World Cup Qualifiers?
ESPN and Univision
Thanks:)
Any word on U.S. TV rights for the March 2021 Concacaf qualifiers next week?

I wasn’t clear enough. Asking about the World Cup qualifiers. Any intel there?
Ah OK. Here’s more info:

Off topic. Anyone know why Juventus vs Napoli, 1:45Pm today, is not on ESPN+ nor on any other ESPN channel?
Just found out that tonight’s Juventus vs Napoli match has been postponed which is why it’s not on ESPN+. New date is April 7, I think.
So the Concacaf WCQs that start next week won’t be shown anywhere?
Can anyone provide clarity on this? ^^^
We should know more tomorrow. As soon as we have more details, we’ll update the information.
Universo will show Panama vs. Barbados and El Salvador vs. Granada.
I saw that too. I also realized that the Paramount plus article said the CONCACAF coverage will start with the Nations League semis. It unfortunately looks like we won’t have english language coverage of the first round of CONCACAF World Cup Qualifiers.
Paramount just created a section for these, no schedule yet but mentions coverage starts 3/24.
March 23 2021. Awesome job.
I’m thinking of watching every single game but it’s probably impossible to do while avoiding the scores.
So it seems like NBC/Telemundo secured full spanish broadcast rights to the equivalent of CBS/Paramount.
Chris Harris, thanks for all your hard work & research. Very trustworthy site. Just wish a decent network would make a long-term commitment to broadcast great matches from all confederations.
Again, thanks !
