SBS has announced FIFA+ for SBS On Demand, a free ad supported streaming TV (FAST) channel.
To launch next month, the new streaming destination - announced at the SBS Upfronts today - will provide audiences with a dedicated one-stop Australian destination to access premium FIFA content, both fresh and archival.
The new channel will feature unique documentaries, interviews, and behind-the-scenes content that delve into the stories of the world’s greatest footballers, teams and moments, along with classic matches from past World Cups, top women's matches and other significant tournaments.
It will also feature selected live coverage of FIFA events and other FIFA programming through 2025 and beyond.
SBS director of sport, Ken Shipp, said SBS has been a long-standing and proud FIFA partner since first broadcasting the World Cup in 1986, and this channel lets SBS bring even more top-tier football to passionate fans.
"It underscores our commitment to, and investment in, high-quality sports programming and expanding Australians' access to the beautiful game," he said.
The launch of the FIFA+ FAST channel is part of SBS's broader slate of football content to build excitement ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026.
Recent additions include The Weekly Football Wrap, a new program that began September 9, hosted by Claudio Fabiano, providing weekly updates and insights into the world of football; the South American CONMEBOL FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifying matches, broadcasting 54 South American qualifying matches since September 6 and into 2025; and Road to FIFA World Cup 2026 Hub, a single destination hub with match replays, mini-matches, highlights, classic World Cup finals and iconic Socceroos moments.
