CONMEBOL Qualifiers – What you need to know
The FIFA World Cup is the biggest competition in world football and, in 2026, 48 of the best national teams from the men’s game will come together for a tournament watched by over five billion people.
With the United States of America, Canada, and Mexico already guaranteed qualification as hosts, the remaining 45 spots have been divided amongst the six member considerations, where UEFA (Europe) receive 16 direct slots; CAF (Africa) receive 9; AFC (Asia) receive 8; CONMEBOL (South America) receive 6; CONCACAF (Central and North America as well as the Caribbean) receive 3; and the OFC (Oceania) receive 1, with two additional slots allocated to the two winners from the play-offs.
SBS and SBS On Demand will provide live coverage of 54 qualifying matches from the South American confederation, in what is an early taste of elite football action for Australian audiences.
World champions Argentina are among the national teams vying for a place in the World Cup, as are arch-rivals Brazil, Uruguay, Colombia, Chile, Peru, Paraguay, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Bolivia.
With each team having already played six qualifying matches, the remaining 12 home-and-away fixtures for each national team will take place from September 2024 to September 2025 – of which, 54 will air live and free on SBS.
