How can I watch Bafana Bafana battle South Korea in the FIFA World Cup 2026?

The match can be watched live on SABC Sport.

Bafana Bafana need a victory to be able to stand a chance to progress to the knockout stage of the tournament while a draw is sufficient for second placed Korea [ranked 25th] to progress. 

The 59-ranked African side have previously faced Asian opposition on eight previous occassions, hammering Thailand 4-0 in an international friendly in 2010 and playing draws against Japan, Iraq, North Korea and Saudi Arabia [twice] while losing once in a friendly against the latter.
