The Lebanese Government received the broadcasting rights of the 2018 FIFA World Cup from beIN Sports which is the distributor of SAMA Group. Lebanese football fans will be able to watch it for free on Télé Liban instead of paying $100 to receive the 2018 World Cup package. beIN filed a lawsuit against Télé Liban in 2014 because the Lebanese state-run channel aired the World Cup without permission. The 2018 World Cup will take place in Russia from June 14 to July 15, 2018. Russia will play against Saudi Arabia at 6:00 PM at Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow.
