If you're looking for how to watch Switzerland vs Canada in the 2026 World Cup, we've got all the streaming details here – and if you're looking for information on how to stream all the World Cup matches for free, check out our detailed guide here.
The Switzerland vs Canada group B match will take place on Wednesday 24 June in BC Place Vancouver, and Canada are likely to be feeling confident after seeing Switzerland struggle to draw with Qatar despite being the favorites.
One of the words that comes up often to describe Switzerland is "reliable": they're a pretty consistent performer, but perhaps lack the intensity and energy of their Canadian rivals – and they don't have Canada's superstar Alphonso Davies as team captain. Davies didn't play the group opener against Bosnia and Herzegovina due to injury, but it's hoped that he'll have recovered in time to take on the Swiss team and help take Canada out of the group stages for the very first time.
With both teams currently at 1 game played and 1 point apiece it's all to play for here: current odds from multiple bookmakers are coming in at 11/10 for a Swiss win, 13/5 for a Canadian win and 12/5 for a draw.
The kick-off time for the match is 3pm ET / 8pm BST / 5am AEST on Wednesday 24 June (Thursday 25th in Australia). Here's how to watch Switzerland vs Canada wherever you are.
How to watch Switzerland vs Canada free around the world
In the UK, the BBC and ITV are splitting the coverage of the World Cup; this match is being broadcast by the BBC, so you can tune in via the BBC iPlayer app and stream the match for free. RTE in Ireland is streaming the match free in the RTE Player, and in Australia you can stream for free with SBS On Demand.
Free World Cup streaming is typically limited to people who are actually in the broadcaster's country, so if your device seems to be located in another country you won't be able to access your stream. You can fix that with a VPN app to make your computer appear as if it's at home, enabling you to catch the match from wherever you are.
Free streams available in:
- UK: BBC iPlayer
- Australia: SBS On Demand
- Ireland: RTE Player
