Emirates is allowing travelers to watch every match of the FIFA World Cup 2026 live on board most of its flights via the Sport 24 channel on its inflight entertainment system, from the opening ceremony in Mexico to the final in the United States on 19 July.
The airline said Sport 24 will provide a full schedule of all the tournament's matches, allowing travelers to follow the competition live during flights, including the goals and decisive moments of one of the world's biggest sporting events, according to a post on the Emirates website.
The full live broadcast schedule for the 2026 World Cup is available in the June issue of the "ice" magazine, to help travelers check match times throughout the tournament.
Emirates said its live TV service, including the Sport 24 and Sport 24 Extra channels, is available on most flights, with availability varying by aircraft type and route.
The airline also plans to show 2026 World Cup matches, where possible, in Emirates lounges in Dubai, allowing travelers to watch matches before or after their flights.
In addition to the World Cup, Sport 24 and Sport 24 Extra are broadcasting the NBA Finals from 4 to 20 June.
Live sports events also include the SailGP Canada Grand Prix from Halifax Harbour in Nova Scotia on 20 and 21 June, as well as the Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix on 19 July and the Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix on 26 July.
