Football World Cup 2023 live on TV

ARD and ZDF broadcast the World Cup matches live on TV and in the live stream. A transmission on free TV was questionable for a long time, only in June was the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) able to come to an agreement with the world association Fifa.

The allocation of rights took several months, as Fifa had offered its own sales package for the TV broadcast of the women’s World Cup for the first time – in the past, the broadcasting rights were always allocated in the package with the men’s tournaments. But the ideas of the broadcasters and Fifa were far behind each other for a long time until an agreement was finally reached in June.
