How SVT and TV4 share World Cup broadcasts

World Cup matches are now split between TV channels. The tournament's opening match and the final will be broadcast on TV4. SVT will show Sweden's opener against Tunisia.

SVT and TV4 share broadcasting rights to the World Cup, with TV4 owning a larger share of the rights.

It is the largest World Cup ever with 48 participating nations and a total of 104 matches. TV4 will broadcast most of the group stage, 49 of 72 matches, and also Sweden's round of 32 if the Swedish national team advances to it.

SVT will broadcast Sweden's opening match against Tunisia on June 15 at 4:00 AM. TV4 will broadcast the match against the Netherlands on Midsummer's Day on June 20 at 7:00 PM, and SVT will broadcast the final group stage match against Japan on June 26 at 1:00 AM.

TV4 will broadcast the tournament opener, Mexico–South Africa, on June 11 at 9:00 PM and the final on July 19 at 9:00 PM.

The World Cup will be held in the United States, Canada and Mexico (June 11–July 19).

Corrected: A previous version had the wrong start time for Sweden's opening match. The correct time is 4:00 AM.
