FIFA World Cup 2026 Broadcast Rights in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Nepal
Himalaya Sports & DGo will televise the Soccer World Cup matches live in Nepal this year. Last time, Sports18 Network showed the matches live in India. However, due to an ongoing unsettled negotiation between the rights selling authority and Indian broadcasters, the Indian TV rights are yet to be grabbed. FIFA demanded a massive 100 million dollars (app.) for the Indian market. DD Sports will show selected games, but the main broadcast rights are up for grabs. The same scenario is for the Bangladeshi market. The BD market has an overall value of around 12.3 million USD. In 2022, T Sports, GTV, BTV, and Toffee broadcast the matches live in Hamza Choudhury’s country. A Sports (Ary Sports) telecast the 2022 WC matches in Pakistan.
FIFA World Cup 2026 Broadcast Rights in USA, Canada, UK

FIFA initially asked for US$250-300 million, which has been lowered to $120-150 million, but the expected deal sum from the bidders is approximately 60 to 80 million US Dollars.
