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
The US TV Rights for the 2026 Soccer World Cup belong to Fox (English) and Telemundo (Spanish) network channels. Bell Media will show the games in another co-host nation, Canada. Meanwhile, traditional BBC and ITV still hold the Football World Cup’s UK TV rights.
FIFA World Cup 2026 TV Rights in China, Malaysia, Thailand
RTM and Unifi TV will televise the 2026 FIFA matches in Malaysia. The Thai TV rights are vacant yet; meanwhile, there has been no official TV channel rightsholder for the China market for the 2026 World Cup. 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.
How to watch FIFA World Cup 2026 in India?
