The Socceroos have qualified for their sixth consecutive FIFA World Cup and seventh in their history, and Australians will have plenty of ways to get behind the green and gold.

The Aussies were drawn into Group D alongside Türkiye, Paraguay and co-hosts the United States.

Under new manager Tony Popovic, who replaced Graham Arnold in 2024, the Socceroos have been training in Oakland, hoping to make it beyond the Round of 16 for the first time.

Alongside live and free coverage on SBS and SBS On Demand, official live sites and fan zones will pop up across the country, giving supporters the chance to watch together.

Here's where you can catch the action, and cheer along live with Socceroos matches and finals.
