The TotalEnergies CAF Champions League final between AS FAR and Mamelodi Sundowns is set to reach a record global audience, with broadcast coverage confirmed in more than 100 territories worldwide for the 2025/26 edition.
The final will be played in Rabat, Morocco, on Sunday, 24 May 2026 at 20:00 local time (19:00 GMT), and marks one of the most widely distributed African club football broadcasts in history, reflecting CAF’s continued push to expand the competition’s global footprint.
A major development for this year’s final is its expanded international television and streaming reach. For the first time, audiences in Japan, South Korea and China will be able to watch the match live via DAZN, signalling a significant step into East Asian markets for African club football.
The CAF Champions League has also entered several new territories across Europe and the Americas, with broadcasts confirmed in countries including Mexico, Brazil, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain. This expansion highlights growing commercial interest in African football beyond its traditional viewership base.
In the United Kingdom, the final will be shown free-to-air for the first time through Channel 4 and its digital platforms, opening up access to a wider general audience without subscription barriers.
CAF’s long-standing broadcast partners will continue to play a central role in delivering the final across multiple regions. beIN SPORTS will provide coverage across the Middle East and North Africa, as well as parts of Asia, France, the United States and the South Pacific, maintaining its position as one of the competition’s key global distributors.
Francophone audiences in more than 32 countries will be served through Canal+, while SuperSport will broadcast across much of sub-Saharan Africa in both English and Portuguese, ensuring broad continental coverage.
Regional broadcasters will also provide extensive local access. In Southern Africa, the South African Broadcasting Corporation, SABC, will air the match, while in East Africa coverage will be available across more than eight countries through Azam TV. In Morocco, host nation viewers will be able to follow the final on SNRT’s Arryadia channel, alongside beIN SPORTS coverage.
Additional European broadcasters include Sport TV in Portugal, Megogo in Ukraine, and Sport Klub in Slovenia and Croatia, further extending the reach of the fixture across the continent.
The scale of coverage underlines the growing global profile of the CAF Champions League final, with increased accessibility across streaming platforms, free-to-air television and traditional pay-TV networks. For both AS FAR and Mamelodi Sundowns, the match will not only decide the continent’s premier club trophy but also be witnessed by a truly worldwide audience.
