The FIFA World Cup 2026 is coming to an end, and this weekend is the biggest of the tournament. After 40 days of football across Canada, Mexico and the USA, the third-place match and the final are happening this weekend, and millions of fans in Bangladesh are asking one simple question: where to watch FIFA World Cup 2026 this weekend without missing a single goal?
Fixtures This Weekend & Bangladesh Time
The matches are being played in North America, so the kick-off times will be late at night or early morning in Bangladesh. Here is the converted schedule to Bangladesh Standard Time (BST):
- Third place match: France vs England, Sunday 19 July, 3.00 am (Bangladesh time)
- Final: Spain vs Argentina to start around 1 am Monday, July 20 (Bangladesh time)
Fans should prepare for a late night or set an alarm as both games are slated to begin well after midnight local time.
Where to Watch on Television
For once, Bangladeshi viewers can rest assured that there will be no blackout. After weeks of uncertainty,y a group of channels have won the broadcasting rights and will screen every match of the tournament for free, including the final.
- BTV (Bangladesh Television): the state-owned channel, available throughout the country free of charge by regular antenna or cable
- T Sports: Bangladesh’s first-ever dedicated Sports channel on cable & satellite
- Somoy TV: private news channel, also giving live coverage of the matches
All three channels are telecasting the matches with Bengali commentary so that the non-cable viewers can also watch the action on BTV through a simple rooftop antenna.
