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.
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.
