How can I watch Bafana Bafana battle Czech Republic in the FIFA World Cup 2026?

The match can be watched live on SABC Sport.

Both teams head into the match on the back of opening matchday defeats to Mexico and South Korea respectively and will need to win the match in order to keep their hopes of progessing to the knockout round alive. 

Bafana Bafana have previously faced Czechia once in a 2-2 draw at the 1997 Confederations Cup, ahead of their first appearance at the World Cup in France the following year.
