In June, the ÖFB team begins the qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico. The total of eight games, as well as the Nations League playoff against Serbia in March, can be seen on ORF 1 and ServusTV.

After reaching the round of 16 at the UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany, the ÖFB team now aims to qualify for a FIFA World Cup for the first time since 1998. Whether the national team under head coach Ralf Rangnick will succeed will be shown in the World Cup qualification, where Austria will face Romania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cyprus, and San Marino in Group H.

ORF 1 and ServusTV Broadcast World Cup Qualifiers and Nations League Playoff

ORF holds the broadcasting rights for all matches of the FIFA World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico. The broadcast of the World Cup qualification matches will be evenly split between ORF and ServusTV. The kickoff for the World Cup qualifiers takes place on June 7 with the match Austria against Romania, which will be broadcast live on ORF 1. Before that, Austria will compete in March in the playoff for promotion in the Nations League against Serbia; the home game will be shown on ORF, the return match on ServusTV. "We are keeping our fingers crossed for the national team on their path through the qualification, the first World Cup participation since 1998 would be a great story not only for football Austria but also for ORF as the rights holder of the 2026 FIFA World Cup," said ORF Director General Roland Weißmann.
