The international football calendar
International football runs across the FIFA calendar - the September, October, November and March international windows carry the qualifiers and friendlies, while June typically carries the tournament or the post-season fixtures.
The Nations League has added a competitive layer to the international calendar, with the UEFA Nations League replacing many of the friendlies with meaningful matches that carry promotion and relegation.
The non-UEFA confederations carry their own qualifying formats and their own calendar, which means the international football subscription needs to carry matches from every confederation.
The Nations League and the competitive friendlies
The UEFA Nations League has transformed the international calendar by replacing many friendlies with competitive matches that carry promotion, relegation and financial consequences.
The Nations League format runs across the September, October and November windows, with the league phase determining the promotion and relegation for each confederation's group.
The Nations League finals - typically held in June - carry the four group winners competing for the title, which is the most competitive international tournament outside the World Cup and the continental championships.
The broadcast quality across the internationals
The broadcast quality for international matches varies by confederation - the European and South American internationals carry the highest production values, while the African and Asian matches have a more modest standard.
The 4K production is concentrated on the major international fixtures - the World Cup qualifiers, the Nations League finals and the continental championship matches.
The subscription carries all the international matches regardless of the production standard, which means the viewer gets the complete international calendar across every confederation.
The friendly match and the tournament warm-up
The international friendlies serve a different purpose from the competitive matches - they carry the experimental line-ups, the tactical testing and the team-building that the competitive calendar does not allow.
The tournament warm-up matches - the pre-World Cup and pre-continental championship friendlies - carry a different broadcast dynamic, with the production focusing on the team preparation rather than the result.
The friendly matches carry the same broadcast quality as the competitive fixtures, which means the subscription treats the full international calendar consistently.
Replays and the international catch-up
The full international match replays are available from a few hours after the final whistle, which is essential for the international fanbase following from different time zones.
The highlights packages carry the goals and key incidents from every international match, which serves the fan who wants the international break condensed into a manageable format.
The international match replay library preserves the national team's narrative arc across the qualifying campaign and the tournament warm-ups, which allows the fan to follow the team's progress across the full cycle.
Testing during an international window
The free trial during an international window covers the qualifiers, friendlies and Nations League matches across multiple confederations, which is the most diverse trial window of the year.
If the international broadcast holds up across the European, South American and other confederation fixtures, the full international calendar is sorted.
