At long last, the FIFA World Cup 2026 has a broadcaster in India. After months of negotiations, FIFA announced that it has reached an agreement with ‘Z’ to broadcast and distribute a wide-ranging portfolio of FIFA competitions in the country for an eight-year period from 2026 to 2034.
As a part of this newly-signed deal, ‘Z’ will be broadcasting tournaments, including this year's World Cup, the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027 and the FIFA World Cup 2030.
Under the partnership, the broadcaster will be delivering coverage of 39 FIFA events across this period, including men's, women's, and youth competitions.
The agreement also includes documentary content linked to these competitions.
The FIFA U-17 World Cup, the FIFA U-20 World Cup, the FIFA Women’s U-17 World Cup, the FIFA Women’s U-20 World Cup, FIFA Futsal World Cups, and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup, alongside the flagship FIFA World Cup, will all be telecast and streamed by ‘Z’.
