Peru and Costa Rica World Cup Qualifiers to air on Telemundo

Soccer fans wondering who will broadcast the Peru and Costa Rica World Cup Qualifiers won’t have to stress any longer.

This June, World Soccer Talk has learned that Telemundo will broadcast two major World Cup qualifiers to viewers in the United States. The games featured are Peru versus Australia, as well as Costa Rica against New Zealand. Both games are the inter-confederation play-offs. They determine the two final teams from the CONCACAF, CONMEBOL, AFC and OFC regions.

In the past, the inter-confederation playoff matches were a two-legged home-and-away series. However, these games this June will be single-leg knockout matches. For the 2026 World Cup, a playoff tournament has been proposed to determine the final two places.
