Australia will be out to finish their build-up to the FIFA World Cup strongly across the next week and a half with two friendlies. The Socceroos take on the Czech Republic in the first of those. This is The Roar‘s guide to streaming the match online and watching it on TV.
The match is scheduled to get underway at 9pm (AEST) on Friday, June 1. It’ll be played at the NV Arena in Austria on neutral ground.
The Socceroos have been in a training camp in Turkey to begin their preparation for the World Cup. Now, the 26-man squad heads to Austria with a match against the Czech Republic to be followed by one against Hungary – both teams who failed to qualify for the biggest sporting event on Earth.
New manager Bert van Marwijk will have to trim his squad to 23 one week out from the start of the World Cup, so these friendlies will be crucial in deciding the final positions for Russia.
Here in Australia, we will have two ways to watch the Socceroos’ friendly against the Czech Republic on TV.
The first way to watch the match on TV will be through Foxtel. Fox Sports are broadcasting the match live, as they do with every non-World Cup Socceroos fixture.
The coverage can be found on Channel 501 and will commence at 8:30pm (AEST). To watch it on Fox Sports, you will need a valid Foxtel TV subscription.
If you are looking to watch the match on free-to-air TV, you will need to use Network Ten. They will broadcast the match through One HD, also from 8:30pm (AEST).
There will be two ways for Australian viewers to stream the match online.
The first of those will be through Foxtel. They have two streaming services, depending on your status with the company. If you are a TV subscriber to Foxtel, then you will be using the Foxtel App. If not, you will be looking to use Foxtel Now, which is for streaming use only.
Channel Ten will also stream the match live on their TenPlay application and website.
On The Roar, we will be providing coverage of the match with a live blog and highlights so you won’t miss a moment of the action.
