BBC World Cup listings

acbruce — Sun, 28 Jun 2026 16:28:34 GMT

Although the programme guide on my Sky Q shows the games that ITV are showing from today on, none appear on the BBC channels even though I know they are showing games, for example the England game on Wednesday at 5.30 where the guide shows only Wimbledon. Has anyone else got this issue?

Same here.

I suspect the schedule will be updated shortly now the matches are being finalised. (After all they are still dynamic depending on the results)

Just a small point ~ the England game against DR Congo kicks off at 5pm BST not 5:30

I have looked on the Freeview schedule and it shows the same Wimbledon untill 6pm followed by news and local news and Wimbledon from 7pm. However the match is showing be shown live on the BBC iplayer at 5pm. It could also be shown on the red button. But difficult for bbc this week as wimbildon has started and they advertise showing that on BBC 1 and 2 every day of the fortnight from 10.30 till 8pm. So may be the England match will only be available on the iPlayer live . Don't know why if they were going to have difficulty showing it with there Wimbledon commitments they didn't let ITV show it.

But dose not say bbc1 or bbc2. It could just put on the red button and iPlayer, they would not on the Sky and tv guides. But we will see if the schedule are altered later.

The World Cup isn't going to be relegated to a red button feed. The schedule just hasn't been updated yet.

If only the BBC had a couple more linear channels they could make use of.

Because BBC and ITV share the rights for World Cup football

itv doesn't do Wimbledon

Plus itvX is only HD where as iplayer does 4kUHD if it's not available via the app on Sky Q use the app on your smart tv

It's a BBC, rather than a Sky, issue. Even the BBC website isn't showing any scheduled games.

If you have access to the BBC iPlayer all the completed matches that the BBC are due to show are on there and from what understand will available to watch upp to 30 days after the completion of the match. We are using this service for the overnight match rather than recording them. It has worked rather well so far. The match tonight is shown to be available on there teen if not on BBC 1 as it advertised to. Not sure why 21,30 is not shown on the tv guide as Wimbildon is finished by then.

The Germany v Paraguay match is now being shown on the Freeview tv guide BBC 1 coverage starts at 9pm if it not on the sky tv guide I sure will be updated shortly.

Wimbledon not England

tcbaxter — Mon, 29 Jun 2026 12:51:08 GMT

Wednesday at 5pm the TV guide on bbc is showing Wimbledon. Where is the football? I'm not risking watching it on iplayer because my internet isn't reliable enough
