The invention relates to a method and apparatus for receiving a three-dimensional broadcast image in a mobile environment. The method for receiving a three-dimensional broadcast image according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises the following steps: receiving a broadcast signal including a left-view image and aright-view image for a three-dimensional broadcast image, and a service signaling channel for signaling the three-dimensional broadcast image; parsing a service map table (SMT) contained in the service signaling channel, parsing, from the parsed SMT, component-type information for indicating whether or not a three-dimensional video stream including the left-view image and the right-view image is contained in the broadcast signal, and parsing, from the SMT, left/right-view image information for indicating whether the left-view image or right-view image is transmitted through a specific region of a single video frame, if the component-type information indicates that the three-dimensional video stream containing the left-view image and the right-view image is contained in the broadcast signal; formatting the left-view image and the right-view image into a three-dimensional image on the basis of the parsed left/right-view image information; and displaying the three-dimensional image.
