     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.

     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).

   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.

    Reply
    • Christopher Harris October 29, 2017

      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.

    • Christopher Harris November 3, 2017

      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/

    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?

    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 ?

    Reply
    • Christopher Harris May 28, 2018

      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?

    Reply
    • Christopher Harris June 1, 2018

      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?

    Reply
    • Christopher Harris March 6, 2020

      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.
