Austria FIFA World Cup 2026 broadcaster
In Austria, the broadcasting rights for the FIFA World Cup 2026 are shared between two free-to-air networks: ORF (the public broadcaster) and ServusTV (a commercial network owned by Red Bull).
To watch from abroad using a VPN, connect to an Austrian server to stream the match for free on ORF. Alternatively, you can connect to a server in the MENA region to watch via beIN Sports Connect, though this method requires a paid regional subscription.
Through a sub-licensing agreement, the two networks will cover all 104 matches of the expanded tournament. Here is how the coverage is divided:
- Match Split: Both ORF and ServusTV will broadcast 52 live matches each.
- Key Matches: ORF holds the exclusive rights to broadcast the opening match and the grand final.
- Austrian National Team: For matches involving Austria, ORF will broadcast the first and third group-stage games, while ServusTV will air the second group-stage game (as well as the round-of-32 tie, should Austria advance).
- Streaming: Comprehensive digital coverage and live streams will be available on their respective platforms, ORF ON and ServusTV On.
Because both networks are free-to-air, fans in Austria will be able to watch the entire 2026 tournament without needing a paid cable or streaming subscription.
