Canada still runs through TSN and RDS, Australia stays simple through SBS, and Ireland keeps RTÉ as the public-service route. That gives the fixture broad coverage in both participating countries and in the main English-language markets.
| Country | Best Viewing Route |

Austria vs Jordan Live Stream Free-to-Air Options
Austria viewers are in a strong position because ORF carries the match and ORF ON handles the digital side. The United Kingdom also gets a free route through BBC One and BBC iPlayer, while Australia stays free through SBS and SBS On Demand.
Ireland remains accessible through RTÉ television and RTÉ Player. The United States does not get that same open English-language path because the main listing sits on FS1.
Pay TV and App Access

India viewers should load ZEE5 before kickoff, and Austria viewers who miss the television feed can fall back on ORF ON. That gives most major markets both a television route and a legal mobile option.

United States

TV Channel(s): FS1, Telemundo
Live Stream(s): FOX One, FOX Sports App, Peacock, Telemundo App
Austria
Austria viewers have a clean home-market route because ORF's own World Cup guide lists Austria against Jordan inside its live match package. That gives local viewers a strong free-to-air path, with digital support attached to the same broadcaster.
TV Channel(s): ORF
Live Stream(s): ORF ON

Jordan sits inside the established beIN tournament footprint, so fans should expect the same premium route used across the wider Arabic-speaking market. That keeps television and app access aligned with the rest of the World Cup schedule.
TV Channel(s): beIN Sports
Live Stream(s): beIN SPORTS CONNECT, TOD

Austria vs Jordan Match Preview
The Austria national team comes into Santa Clara with the stronger form line and the clearer expectation to win. Rangnick's side pressed well through qualifying, then beat Ghana, South Korea, and Tunisia in the warm-up run, which gives Austria a strong platform for the first match in Group J.
The Jordan national team carries a different story. Jordan are at the World Cup for the first time, and the attacking burden now falls harder on Mousa Al-Taamari and Ali Olwan after Yazan Al Naimat's injury removed the side's most proven scorer from the tournament build-up.
Austria should be comfortable if the match turns into sustained pressure around the Jordan box. Jordan need the game to stay compact, survive the first press, and attack the space behind Austria's wide defenders before the shape resets.
Austria vs Jordan Expected Lineups
The official XIs will be confirmed close to kickoff, but the latest pre-match signals still point to Austria using an aggressive 4-2-3-1 and Jordan staying with a back-three structure. Austria's stronger midfield depth makes their shape easier to read, while Jordan's main task is replacing Al Naimat's goals and movement.
| Team | Expected Starting XI |
|---|---|
| Austria | Alexander Schlager; Konrad Laimer, Philipp Lienhart, David Alaba, Philipp Mwene; Xaver Schlager, Nicolas Seiwald; Romano Schmid, Marcel Sabitzer, Michael Gregoritsch; Marko Arnautovic |
| Jordan | Yazeed Abulaila; Salim Obaid, Yazan Al-Arab, Abdallah Nasib; Ehsan Haddad, Nizar Al-Rashdan, Noor Al-Rawabdeh, Mohannad Abu Taha; Mousa Al-Taamari, Ali Olwan, Odeh Fakhoury |
