Malawi’s meeting with Zambia at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations will be broadcast live on Wednesday, 5 August 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 20:00 GMT.
Viewers in France and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region can watch the match on the beIN Sports network, including beIN Sports MAX. The broadcaster holds the rights to show the fixture in those territories, giving supporters a live television option for the game.
The match will also be available through a number of broadcasters serving sub-Saharan Africa. Supporters in that region can follow the contest on Canal+ Afrique and SuperSport, alongside the national television channels of the countries concerned.
For audiences in territories without an exclusive television arrangement, the fixture will be streamed free of charge on the CAF TV YouTube channel. This provides an additional way for fans to watch Malawi against Zambia if the game is not being shown by a local or regional broadcaster.
The fixture is therefore available through different platforms depending on the viewer’s location. In France and the MENA region, the main option is beIN Sports, with beIN Sports MAX among the channels carrying the match. Across sub-Saharan Africa, Canal+ Afrique and SuperSport are also listed as broadcasters.
National television networks in the countries concerned will provide another way to follow the game, while CAF TV’s YouTube stream is intended for regions where no broadcaster has exclusive television rights.
The match forms part of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations programme and is due to begin at 20:00 GMT on Wednesday. Supporters should check the listings of the relevant broadcaster in their territory for the channel carrying the broadcast.
For viewers unable to access one of the listed television networks, the CAF TV YouTube channel remains the free streaming option in areas without an exclusive television deal. The availability of that stream is therefore dependent on the viewer being in a region where no broadcaster has secured exclusivity.
The Malawi-Zambia meeting will be shown across the listed television and digital platforms, with coverage divided by territory. The live broadcast details are:
– Date: Wednesday, 5 August 2026
– Kick-off: 20:00 GMT
