The FIFA World Cup 2026 is all about football and so much more.

Think about it.

It's one of the few times when the entire world is watching the same thing at the same time.

It's people leaving their corner of the globe and being welcome into someone else's.

Jerseys get swapped, cafes are packed with fans from opposing teams,

Beers are shared after the match.

My favourite part about travelling and watching sport is those little side missions along the way.

The amazing cafe you stumble to, the restaurant and beers after the game and all the people that you get to meet along the way.

That's why Airbnb sees the World Cup as more than just a tournament.

It's people meeting, staying in their homes, exploring their neighbourhoods and sharing their experiences.

Airbnb.

The world is meant to meet.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is underway.

48 nations, the group stage is in full swing.

And if you've missed anything this week, the SBS Watchers' Rights Association wishes to state for the record, that is not your fault.

That is the fault of a work system that has not yet adapted to the reality of living through a World Cup year entirely in work hours.

SBS On Demand has every match, every result, every moment.

Available so no Australian has to experience the particular pain of a spoiler from someone who is correctly exercising their right to watch.

Work hard, watch harder.
