Hill, long associated with major moments in Australian football, will partner with SEN regular Bosnich to call all three of Australia’s group matches live from host cities Vancouver, Seattle and Santa Clara.
The wider commentary line-up includes Archie Thompson, Adam Peacock, Brenton Speed and Jordan Kounelis, who will contribute analysis and match coverage throughout the tournament.
Adam Peacock, host of SEN 1170am’s afternoon program, will also broadcast from the United States and Canada, delivering updates and content across the network.
Across the 39-day tournament, SEN plans to broadcast up to 49 matches via its SEN, SENTrack, SENTurf, SEN Fanatic and Sport Nation (NZ) platforms.
In addition to match calls, programs including Gloves Off with Bozza and Arvos with Adam Peacock will air from North America during the opening month of the tournament.
A daily one-hour show, The Global Game, will also be produced, airing after each matchday with analysis from SEN’s commentary teams.
“The FIFA World Cup 26 is the pinnacle of the game, and to be calling Australia’s matches live on the world’s biggest stage is always special,” Hill said.
“SEN’s commitment to football coverage continues to grow, and I’m looking forward to bringing listeners close to the action from these incredible venues.”
