AFCON 2025/26 games are being shown on different channels depending on where you live, mainly via major sports networks that own the tournament rights.

Main channels by region

  • UK & Ireland: AFCON is on Channel 4’s network (Channel 4, E4, 4Seven and Channel 4’s streaming/YouTube sport channel), with every match available live.
  • USA & Canada: beIN Sports holds the primary TV rights, with matches also available via streaming providers that carry beIN (for example certain sports-focused live TV platforms).
  • Africa (general) : Coverage is carried by a mix of SuperSport, Canal+ and beIN Sports, with the exact channel depending on your specific country.
  • Europe (selected countries) : CAF has deals with multiple broadcasters; for example Channel 4 in the UK, ERT in Greece, VGTV in Norway, SportDigital in the DACH region and others show AFCON matches.

How to quickly check in your country

  • Search your local sports package (satellite, cable or streaming) for:
    • “AFCON” or “Africa Cup of Nations”.
    • beIN Sports , SuperSport , Canal+ , Channel 4 or your national sports channel.
  • Check your national football association or broadcaster’s sports page; they usually list AFCON rights and exact channel numbers close to matchdays.

If you tell your country or platform (Sky, DStv, etc.), a more precise channel number can be narrowed down.
