The Women’s AFCON 2026 will now be available in more territories worldwide than ever before. Softfootball can confirm major broadcast expansions, including first‑time coverage in key European markets.
Here are the details:
- UK Coverage — For the first time, thanks to Channel 4, following their successful broadcast of AFCON 2025.
- Germany + Surrounding Territories — Also a first, via DAZN.
- Africa — Over 18 free‑to‑air broadcasters across the continent.
- The tournament kicks off Sunday and runs until August 16.
This expansion comes after Channel 4 covered the 2025 AFCON, which Senegal initially won, but were later stripped of the title following the incident where the Senegalese team left the pitch in protest.
