The World Game was an Australian football (soccer) television show broadcast on the SBS network, as well as a dedicated associated website.
The show debuted in September 2002 and was the only Australian TV program dedicated to both football news and issues within Australia as well as around the world.
Its original presenter was the late Les Murray, which was already the face of SBS' popular FIFA World Cup coverage, and did so for over 30 years before his retirement in 2014.
Some footage is provided from Spain's La Liga, France's Ligue 1, Scotland's Scottish Premier League, South America's Copa Libertadores and Germany's Bundesliga.
On 1 November 2012 SBS bought the rights to show one live A-League game per week, with the remainder going to pay TV provider Fox Sports.
They will also broadcast the Socceroos' World Cup qualifiers on one-hour delay with Fox Sports showing them live.
Guests on the program have included Ledley King, Scott Jamieson, Shane Smeltz, Kevin Muscat, Corey Gameiro, Nick Montgomery, Marcos Flores, Vítor Saba, Luke Casserly and Archie Thompson.
The app provided a live score and result service with the addition of video highlights, news and content from The World Game team.
