World Cup live on SIA flights

Singapore Airlines said on April 7 that it will show live FIFA World Cup 2026 matches on KrisWorld Live TV during the tournament. (singaporeair.com) The airline said the live coverage will run from June 11 to July 19, 2026, the same dates FIFA lists for the 48-team tournament across Canada, Mexico and the United States. (singaporeair.com | fifa.com) Singapore Airlines is carrying the matches through Sport 24 on KrisWorld Live TV, the live channel built into its in-flight entertainment system. The carrier said passengers can follow matches in real time while in the air. (singaporeair.com | krisworld.singaporeair.com) The timing lines up with long-haul flying days between Asia and North America, where many trips overlap with kickoff times in the host region. FIFA says the 2026 event will stage 104 matches in 16 host cities, up from 64 matches in the 32-team format used in 2022. (fifa.com) For Singapore Airlines, the offer also fits its existing North America network, which includes Singapore flights tied to Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and New York services shown on its booking pages. (singaporeair.com | singaporeair.com | singaporeair.com | singaporeair.com) The carrier said KrisWorld Live TV is available on all Boeing 787-10 and Boeing 737-8 aircraft, plus 41 Airbus A350-900s and eight Boeing 777-300ERs. That means availability depends partly on which aircraft is operating a given flight. (singaporeair.com) Singapore Airlines also said live broadcasts remain subject to satellite coverage, broadcaster arrangements and regulatory approvals on selected routes. In practice, that means a match listed on the schedule may still drop out on some segments because of technical or legal limits. (singaporeair.com | krisworld.singaporeair.com) The World Cup coverage is being added to a larger KrisWorld lineup that Singapore Airlines said now includes more than 1,900 entertainment options, alongside live news and sports channels. For travelers crossing the Pacific in June and July, that turns the seatback screen into a live match screen as well as a movie library. (singaporeair.com)
