Watch the 2023 Pacific Games LIVE and FREE on SBS VICELAND and SBS On Demand from November 19-December 2, with 126 hours of live coverage.
The multi-sport event was originally scheduled to take place earlier this year but was postponed back in 2021 after Games organisers anticipated potential delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Now, more than 5,000 athletes from 24 Oceanian nations will descend on the Solomon Islands for what is the continent’s most significant sporting event to date.
Held every four years, the 2023 Pacific Games will showcase the best athletes from across the Pacific Islands as they compete in 24 sports, with some even granting victors direct qualification to the 2024 Olympics.
Australia will once again feature at the Games and SBS will provide exclusive coverage of the event, beginning with the opening ceremony on November 19 and concluding with the closing equivalent on December 2.
SBS VICELAND and SBS On Demand will deliver 10 hours of live sport each day following the opening ceremony, while SBS and VICELAND will also air 60-minute highlight shows that can be viewed any time via On Demand.
It all promises to be a gripping event, with sports like tennis, athletics, swimming, boxing, football, and rugby bound to excite Australian audiences.
