Senegal FIFA World Cup 2026 TV Schedule
Senegal viewers can follow every World Cup kickoff in GMT, with New World TV leading the local route as Les Lions open Group I against France.
Senegal has a clear World Cup 2026 route because New World TV is the main confirmed broadcaster in the local market. FIFA's Sub-Saharan rights deal puts Senegal inside the New World TV package, and the existing Senegal broadcasting coverage already points viewers to that route for television and digital access. The Senegal FIFA World Cup 2026 TV schedule matters because Les Lions open with one of the most watched African fixtures of the group stage. One local page now keeps the channels, kickoffs, and full tournament table together.
France vs Senegal starts at 7:00 p.m. GMT on Tuesday, June 16. Norway vs Senegal follows at 12:00 a.m. GMT on Tuesday, June 23, and Senegal vs Iraq closes the group at 7:00 p.m. GMT on Friday, June 26. Those dates are easier to track with the FIFA World Cup 2026 match schedule. One Senegal schedule now answers the local TV question without another search.

How to Watch FIFA World Cup 2026 in Senegal — TV and Online
On TV — New World TV
New World TV is the television route Senegal viewers should check first for World Cup 2026. The wider rights picture is already clear because Senegal sits inside FIFA's confirmed Sub-Saharan package, yet the daily free-match allocation still needs checking before each fixture. That leaves one main broadcaster and one practical habit. Open the official listing before kickoff instead of assuming every major match is free.
Online and Mobile — Official New World TV digital platforms
Official New World TV digital access is the main online answer for Senegal viewers on phones, tablets, browsers, and connected screens. That matters because the Norway match starts at 12:00 a.m. GMT and is harder to manage without a stable mobile or streaming route. Test the app or login before France vs Senegal because opening-night traffic should be heavy. Early checks also make it easier to switch screens when the schedule tightens.

Senegal Team at FIFA World Cup 2026
Senegal sit in Group I — FIFA World Cup 2026 with France, Norway, and Iraq. The Senegal squad open in East Rutherford against France, return to the same stadium for Norway, and close in Toronto against Iraq. That order gives Senegal two strong chances to shape the group before the last matchday pressure fully arrives. Group I should still stay live deep into June 26.
| Date | Kickoff (GMT) | Match | Venue | TV Channel |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tuesday, June 16 | 7:00 p.m. GMT | France vs Senegal | New York New Jersey Stadium, East Rutherford | New World TV |
| Tuesday, June 23 | 12:00 a.m. GMT | Norway vs Senegal | New York New Jersey Stadium, East Rutherford | New World TV |
| Friday, June 26 | 7:00 p.m. GMT | Senegal vs Iraq | Toronto Stadium, Toronto | New World TV |
The local watch pattern is friendly twice and awkward once. France vs Senegal and Senegal vs Iraq both land at 7:00 p.m. GMT, which is a clean same-evening slot in Dakar. Norway vs Senegal is the only strain because it starts at 12:00 a.m. GMT. That means one late night in the middle of two easier prime-time windows.
Is FIFA World Cup 2026 Free in Senegal?
Senegal should be treated as a mixed World Cup 2026 market rather than a fully free one. FIFA confirms a 34-match free-to-air package across the Sub-Saharan agreement, yet the final Senegal match list still needs fixture-by-fixture confirmation. So some legal free coverage is expected, but the full 104-match tournament should not be assumed free.
If you mainly want Senegal matches, monitor the official daily listing closely because those fixtures are the most likely to attract local free-window demand. If you want broader day-to-day tournament access, keep New World TV's full route ready as well. The rights answer is already clear. The practical question is which matches sit inside the free daily selection.
FAQs
Where can I watch FIFA World Cup 2026 in Senegal?
Senegal viewers can watch World Cup 2026 through New World TV, with official digital access also tied to the same rights package.
Is FIFA World Cup 2026 free in Senegal?
Senegal has a partial free-match route because FIFA confirms a 34-match regional free package, but the full tournament should not be treated as completely free.

Senegal's group matches are set for 7:00 p.m. GMT on June 16, 12:00 a.m. GMT on June 23, and 7:00 p.m. GMT on June 26. Those fixtures are against France, Norway, and Iraq.
Which channel shows France vs Senegal on June 16?
France vs Senegal is part of the Senegal World Cup 2026 coverage led by New World TV, so local viewers should check that broadcaster's final listing before kickoff.

Yes, Senegal viewers should use the official New World TV digital route on mobile devices before each kickoff.

Check the final listing before France vs Senegal and confirm the late Norway slot ahead of midnight kickoff. Use FIFA World Cup 2026 for the full Senegal schedule, confirmed GMT kickoffs, and live Group I tracking.
