Rugby World Cup starts next month. Anyone know which channel it will be on?

Im interested in this too. An hours Google search has revealed a few possibilties for live streaming, but I don't want to rely on that. Someone surely has bought the rights!?!

wouldnt suprise me its TRUE they are showing the test matches right now,which includes todays games NZ. VS AUSTRALIA,ENGLAND VS FRANCE.

No Thai channels have got the rights. Hopefully Setanta or Bein (both on True) will get the wake up and get the rights! Just so you all know, The Sportsman Pub in Sukhumvit Soi 13 will be showing all the big games with repeats on request. :-)

That's good to know Sportsman, and I fully intend to watch a few weekend games in pubs - yours included, but the Wales v England game, for example is on at 2am, If you're able to show the games it must be possible. Care to spill the beans?

We will be showing all the big games on UK TV channels in HD with full surround sound including 2am games. If true pull their finger out we will be showing on there instead but after contacting them last week it would seem they have no plans to show it as of yet.

i am also interested in watching this.

Setanta sent me an email saying they are not showing it here

Latest news I have is that Fox Sports have the rights for Asia and will definitely be showing it in Hong Kong. No mention of whether they will also be carrying it in Thailand.

Fox Sports Asia definitely have the rights. It will be interesting how they juggle it with f1 and bundesliga along with several other live sports. Randomly cutting into other programmes? Saying that, we had customers watching the Roma game on bt sport on Saturday night and the broadcast didn't start till 15 minutes into the game because bt sport was showing a repeat of the women's tennis..... So even the big boys make mistakes!

Hate to spoil the party but did anyone actually see the France v England match at 2am on Sunday? I know it was advertised in the Bangkok Post as on Fox Sports but I stayed up to watch it and, although I was slightly the worse for wear, it seemed to me Fox Sports was showing an Italian League football match at that time. I may have had the wrong channel of course.

It wasn't on fox sports. I could be wrong but am sure we checked this option. The 2 games this weekend Ireland v Wales and Scotland v Italy are not on fox schedule either. The sportsman will have both games showing with sound along with the challenge cup final on a small screen too. Fox Asia definitely have the rights to show world Cup but maybe struggling as they only have 3 channels with bundesliga on 2 of them and world Athletics Championships on the other one

as for the world cup the athletics finish sunday 30th.

world cup starts 18th.sept.england/fiji 2am.thai time,also most of france's games 2am.

the big one england vs wales sat.sept.26th. 2am.

So it looks like The Sportsman Pub on Suk soi 13, for the games that kick off at sensible times and the UKTV package for the 2am ones including The Big One: Wales v England.

Every time there's a big sporting occasion , the greedy baskets that own the Thai Satellite TV channels screw up.....

Breaking news:


Although Fox Sports and Fox Sports 2 scheduling does not yet extend past the second week in September, I just saw on Fox Sports 2 advertising that RWC is coming up in September on FOX SPORTS 2 (but not in Malaysia!).


So, hope yet!


Just seen on Truevisions ch689 FoxSports 2 a preview of the world cup, so fingers crossed that this ch will be showing it.

It’s official on the Fox Sports Asia scheduling that we will get the games here on FOX 2 (CH689 on True Visions). Opening ceremony on early hours our time and England v Fiji early too, but loads of repeats during the day.



I never believe anything unless I see it. But now I believe!!!!
