South Korea has a passionate football following and a rich World Cup history, including a remarkable run to the semi-finals on home soil in 2002. For 2026, KBS, MBC and SBS โ Korea's three main free-to-air broadcasters โ will share rights for Korea national team matches and selected fixtures. SPOTV (cable) provides comprehensive coverage of all 104 matches, with Wavve and TVING offering streaming access. Like Japan, Korea's KST (UTC+9) time zone means group stage matches run from 01:00 to 10:00 local time, with the morning slots (07:00 and 10:00 KST) being the most viewer-friendly.
