Massive coup as SEN secures broadcast rights for FIFA World Cup 26
SEN • October 9th, 2025 12:32 pm
Sports Entertainment Network (SEN) is pleased to announce it has secured the radio broadcast rights for the FIFA World Cup 26.
The tournament – which will be hosted across Canada, Mexico and the USA – from June 11 to July 19, 2026 - will be broadcast across the SEN network in prime time.
It will be the third-consecutive FIFA World Cup SEN has broadcast, after it broadcast the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 and the FIFA Women’s World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023.
Australian football fans will be in for a treat with the Socceroos having already qualified for the tournament.
The FIFA World Cup 26 will see an expanded format with 48 teams contesting 104 matches across the five-week period.
SEN will broadcast matches from the tournament across its suite of radio stations nationwide and on the SEN App.
SEN CEO, Craig Hutchison, said it was a coup for the network to yet again secure the rights to the most anticipated international sporting event of the year.
“We’re thrilled to once again bring the world’s biggest sporting event to Australian audiences across SEN. The FIFA World Cup is a truly global celebration of football, and with the Socceroos already qualified, we’re proud to deliver every moment of the action to fans nationwide. This marks our third consecutive FIFA World Cup broadcast, and we’re committed to making it our most expansive and engaging coverage yet.”
The FIFA World Cup 26 draw will take place on Friday 5 December, 2025 in Washington D.C., with SEN confirming further details of their event broadcast schedule once the draw is confirmed.
