Only 1 per day on SBS.
Need Optus or other streaming to watch the others

Looking at the SBS games, it appears they've been uncompromising on the games they've picked - quality, or the ones they know there is an audience demand for in Australia. So there are very few games scheduled during prime time, most are after midnight.
Good on them for maintaining their quality control, when they could easily ride the interest of the World Cup and put prime time games on.

I have an optus mobile and a chromecast and so I checked it last night with my computer monitor and it works fine.

All games live with optus sport and decent quality so I'm happy!

Uruguay to be clinical against a Salah-less Egypt and firm as favourites for group A.

Spain Portugal is a bit of a mouthwatering fixture, too bad it's on at 330... I need to sleep a little bit this month!!!

How does the 2026 WC work?
Do Canada, the US and Mexico all get automatic inclusion?

Apparently not...

US to host 40 games
Mexico and Canada 10 each but no auto qualification...

Let's not get too far ahead though, Qatar 2022 will be interesting let alone the current WC...

Optus have major issues with their streams... seems everyone was experiencing 'playback errors' constantly... so frustrating! Hopefully they can get it fixed quickly!!!

How about Morocco netting a 95th minute own goal to Iran to hand them the win! Iran didn’t even have 1 shot in the 2nd half

Iran didn't have a shot on target for the entire game apparently .. The beautiful game can also be one of the cruelest, always fear for players when they OG during the cup

Was always going to happen. Ridiculous decision by the SBS to sell the rights to them in the first place.

I streamed the Uruguay and Iran games last night via the BBC* and ITV respectively, no issues at all.
