The Portugal versus Croatia matchup in the 2026 World Cup knockout stage is drawing attention not only because of the teams involved, but also because Indonesian viewers can follow it without paying extra. The match is scheduled for Friday, 3 July 2026, at Toronto Stadium, also known as BMO Field, in Canada, with kickoff at 06.00 WIB.
For fans in Indonesia, the most accessible option is TVRI, which holds the official broadcast rights for the 2026 World Cup in the country. The national broadcaster will carry the match on its digital television service, including TVRI Sport, making the game available through free-to-air access on digital TV.
How to watch on TVRI digital television
Viewers need a digital television set or a DVB-T2 Set Top Box to receive the signal properly. If the channel does not appear automatically, a rescan or auto scan is recommended so that TVRI can be found with the best possible reception quality.
This free access applies through digital television only. Based on the available information, the match is not offered as a live stream on TVRI’s official website.
Streaming options on digital devices
Those who prefer watching on a smartphone or laptop can turn to official digital platforms that carry the tournament. One service mentioned for showing every match from the group stage through the final is FolaPlay.
