Michael Ebeid AM, CEO and Managing Director, SBS said: “We’re pleased to be able to simulcast more of the 2018 FIFA World Cup™ matches with Optus. With 8 million^ Australians tuning into SBS’s coverage to date, we know how passionate the country is about the world game and are confident fans will continue to engage with the matches as we head towards the end of the competition in Russia.”
SBS will continue to broadcast daily highlights in FIFA World Cup™ Today live from Red Square at 5.30pm each match day with expert analysis from Craig Foster and Lucy Zelić and commentary from Martin Tyler, as well as replays of the SBS Match of the Day each morning at 6.30am.
The Group Stage concludes this evening with many Round of 16 fixtures already locked in. Night one of the knockout stage will showcase a dominant France facing the troubled Argentinian side and unbeaten Uruguay taking on Ronaldo’s Portugal.
