Emirates passengers will be able to watch every match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup live at 40,000 feet, the Dubai carrier announced on 11 June. All games will air on Sport 24, part of the airline’s ice in-flight entertainment system, covering the full run of fixtures from the tournament’s opening in Mexico through to the final on 19 July in the United States.
The full broadcast schedule is also printed in the June edition of the airline’s ice magazine, giving travellers an easy reference for match times throughout the tournament.
Live TV access, including both Sport 24 and Sport 24 Extra, is available on most Emirates flights, though the carrier notes availability may vary by aircraft type and route. Matches will also be screened, where possible, in Emirates lounges in Dubai for passengers before or after their flights.
Beyond the World Cup, Sport 24 and Sport 24 Extra will carry the NBA Finals from 4 to 20 June, live sailing Grand Prix races from Halifax, Nova Scotia on 20 and 21 June, the Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix on 19 July, and the Hungarian Grand Prix on 26 July.
