The new FAST streaming destination provides audiences with a dedicated one-stop Australian destination to access premium FIFA content, both fresh and archival.

FIFA originals: Unique documentaries, interviews, and behind-the-scenes content that delve into the stories of the world's greatest footballers, teams and moments.

FIFA archival match footage: Classic matches from past FIFA World Cups , top women's matches and other significant tournaments, offering fans a journey through football history.

Live matches: Selected live coverage of FIFA events, giving viewers front-row access to international football action.

Additional content: Stay tuned for other FIFA programming, with fresh and exciting content coming to FIFA through 2025 and beyond.

Ken Shipp, SBS Director of Sport, said: We're excited to bring the FIFA FAST channel to SBS On Demand, giving Australians free access to world-class football content anytime, on any device. SBS has been a long-standing and proud FIFA partner since first broadcasting the World Cup in 1986, and this channel lets us bring even more top-tier football to passionate fans. It underscores our commitment to, and investment in, high-quality sports programming and expanding Australians' access to the beautiful game.
