Sky has the exclusive rights for this World Cup 2022 qualifier in the UK, with Sweden vs Spain set to be shown on Sky Sports Premier League. 

Coverage begins at 7.40pm GMT ahead of a 7.45pm kick-off.

If you're a subscriber you can enjoy the games on your TV or on the Sky Go app for your mobile device. And for those of you without a subscription who still want to enjoy the action, Now is most likely your best bet for shorter subs.

If you're outside the UK but want your usual coverage, you can check out this free 30-day ExpressVPN trial  and follow the instructions above.

If you're in the US, ESPN and Spanish-language channel TUDN (formerly Univision Deportes Network) have the rights to show Sweden vs Spain in the US, which kicks off at 2.45pm ET/11.45am PT. 

However, the match won't be available on any of ESPN's linear channels. The game will instead be shown on the sports network's streaming service ESPN Plus.

ESPN Plus only costs $5.99 per month and allows you to watch online as well as via its mobile app and TV streamer apps on the likes of Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, PS4 and Xbox.

Having snapped up the rights to the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, you'll need to tune in to Optus Sport to watch live coverage of Italy vs Northern Ireland if you're down under. 

Make sure you set an alarm though – kick-off is at 4.45am AEST on Friday morning.

If you're not in Oz, using a VPN will allow you to watch the coverage on your Optus account. 

It's not good news for Cannucks looking to watch this game, sadly, with no broadcaster in the region set to show this game.

We don't see much alternative other than to grab a VPN as discussed above and try and catch the coverage from somewhere else in the world (although you'll likely need credit card details in your country of choice).

Sky Sport is showing Sweden vs Spain in New Zealand, with the match set to begin at 6:45 am on Friday morning. 

Sky Sport subscribers can live stream the action via the Sky Go service, while cord-cutters and anyone else can try the Sky Sport Now streaming-only platform - where a weekly pass costs just $19.99.

Anyone in New Zealand from abroad or vice-versa can use the VPN route outlined earlier to access their preferred coverage just like they would at home.
