For the current Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco (2025–26), the channels depend on where you are watching from.

Main channels by region

  • UK: All AFCON 2025 matches are being shown free-to-air via Channel 4’s network – that includes Channel 4, E4 and 4Seven, plus streaming on Channel4.com and the Channel 4 Sport YouTube channel. Individual big games such as the final may also be highlighted specifically on E4 or Channel 4.
  • USA: beIN Sports holds the rights and shows every AFCON match on its TV channels, with streaming via beIN Sports Connect and through services that carry beIN (such as some cable and live-TV streaming packages).
  • Africa (many countries): Coverage is largely through regional pay-TV giants SuperSport and Canal+ , with some matches also carried by national broadcasters in individual countries.
  • Other regions (examples):
    • India: AFCON games are available via FanCode.
* Australia: Matches are on beIN Sports.

* Some European outlets, such as France 24, carry tournament coverage and highlights, though not necessarily every live match on free TV.

Quick pointers

  • If you are in the UK and just want to tune in quickly, try Channel 4 or E4 on Freeview, or the Channel 4 streaming app/site during match times.
  • In the US , look for beIN Sports in your TV package or via a streaming provider that includes it.
  • Inside many African countries, check SuperSport or Canal+ listings, or your national broadcaster’s sports channel, as several have announced they will carry all or most AFCON games.

If you tell your country, it is possible to narrow this down to the exact channel number and main streaming options for you.
