Norway FIFA World Cup 2026 TV Schedule
Norway viewers can track every World Cup kickoff in CEST, with NRK and TV 2 Norway covering the country's return to the finals.
Norway has a clear World Cup 2026 setup because NRK and TV 2 Norway share the local rights package. FIFA's Nordic media-rights deal named TV 2 and NRK as Norway's official broadcasters, while Norway coverage pages already point to NRK as the free route for national-team matches. The Norway FIFA World Cup 2026 TV schedule matters because Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard are taking Norway back to the finals for the first time since 1998. One local page now keeps the channels, kickoffs, and full tournament table together.
Iraq vs Norway starts at 12:00 a.m. CEST on Wednesday, June 17. Norway vs Senegal follows at 2:00 a.m. CEST on Tuesday, June 23, and Norway vs France closes the group at 9:00 p.m. CEST on Friday, June 26. Those dates are easier to track with the FIFA World Cup 2026 match schedule. One Norway schedule now answers the local TV question without another search.

How to Watch FIFA World Cup 2026 in Norway — TV and Online
On TV — NRK / TV 2 Norway
NRK matters first in Norway because the public broadcaster carries the free route for Norway matches. TV 2 Norway matters just as much for the wider tournament split because the overall rights package is shared locally. That gives Norway one open-access lane for the national team and a broader mixed route for the rest of the bracket. The daily task is checking whether a neutral fixture sits on NRK or moves to TV 2 Norway.
Online and Mobile — NRK TV and TV 2 Play
NRK TV gives Norway viewers the clearest free digital path for the national-team matches. TV 2 Play covers the other side of the local split for fans who want a wider tournament path across phones, tablets, browsers, and connected screens. That setup matters because the first two Norway group games land after midnight at 12:00 a.m. and 2:00 a.m. CEST. Test the right app before Iraq vs Norway because the opener will drive the heaviest local demand.

Norway Team at FIFA World Cup 2026
Norway sit in Group I — FIFA World Cup 2026 with Iraq, Senegal, and France. The Norway squad open against Iraq in Boston, meet Senegal in East Rutherford, and close with France back in Foxborough. That order gives Norway one opener they will view as a route to points before the section gets harder. Group I should still stay open until the final matchday.
| Date | Kickoff (CEST) | Match | Venue | TV Channel |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wednesday, June 17 | 12:00 a.m. CEST | Iraq vs Norway | Boston Stadium, Foxborough | NRK / TV 2 Norway |
| Tuesday, June 23 | 2:00 a.m. CEST | Norway vs Senegal | New York New Jersey Stadium, East Rutherford | NRK / TV 2 Norway |
| Friday, June 26 | 9:00 p.m. CEST | Norway vs France | Boston Stadium, Foxborough | NRK / TV 2 Norway |
The local watch pattern is hard early and cleaner late. Iraq vs Norway starts at 12:00 a.m. CEST, Norway vs Senegal moves even later to 2:00 a.m. CEST, and Norway vs France lands in a much easier 9:00 p.m. CEST slot. That means two rough alarm-clock nights before one prime-time finish. NRK and TV 2 Norway still keep the viewing route straightforward once the daily split is checked.
Is FIFA World Cup 2026 Free in Norway?
Norway should be treated as a mixed World Cup 2026 market because NRK gives the country a free route for Norway matches while TV 2 Norway carries a wider rights share. That means the biggest national-team nights stay easy to reach without a subscription wall. The rest of the 104-match tournament does not all sit inside one free package. So the market is open for Norway matches and mixed for the broader bracket.
If you mainly want Norway matches, keep NRK and NRK TV ready first. If you want a wider daily match menu, TV 2 Norway and TV 2 Play should stay in your plan as well. The rights picture is already clear. The practical choice depends on whether you only need Norway's games or want more of the full tournament.
