You can watch the 2025–26 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) through a mix of free- to-air TV, cable sports channels, and official streaming platforms, depending on your country.

Key ways to watch AFCON

  • In many African countries, national broadcasters and SuperSport/Canal+ carry full live coverage on TV and their apps.
  • In the UK, major free-to-air channels (such as Channel 4/E4 for the 2026 knockout stages and final) have been showing live games and highlights.
  • In the US, rights are held by beIN SPORTS, with games shown on the beIN SPORTS channels and via streaming services that carry them (for example, Fubo, which often promotes AFCON coverage and free trials).

Free options and streaming

  • Several countries offer free-to-air coverage of many or all matches via national broadcasters (e.g., SABC in South Africa, SNRT in Morocco, RTI in Ivory Coast, NTA/BON in Nigeria, and others), plus their companion streaming apps where available.
  • Some online platforms list “how to watch AFCON” with links to official streams; match schedules and legal streaming options are also collected on CAF’s official site (CAFonline.com) during the tournament.

Tips if you’re unsure in your country

  • Search your local sports broadcasters (sports channels on your cable/satellite package) for “Africa Cup of Nations” or “AFCON 2025” – rights are often bundled with other international football.
  • Check your national public broadcaster’s sports page and CAFonline.com for official listings; these usually confirm which TV channel or app has the games in your region.

Note: AFCON 2025–26 is hosted in Morocco from December 21, 2025, to January 18, 2026, so coverage is especially active around these dates.
