AFCON streaming — every Africa Cup of Nations match live
The Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON / CAN) is Africa's flagship international football tournament — 24 nations, every two years. The 2025–26 edition is hosted by Morocco from 21 December 2025 to 18 January 2026 across six host cities (Rabat, Casablanca, Marrakech, Tangier, Agadir, Fez). 52 matches in 28 days. Defending champions Côte d'Ivoire face Morocco (home advantage), Senegal, Algeria, Egypt, Cameroon, Nigeria, Tunisia and the rising sides Mauritania, Comoros and Gambia.
The competition produces moments football fans elsewhere don't see often — Africa's best players (Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mané, Riyad Mahrez, Achraf Hakimi, Victor Osimhen, Nicolas Pépé, André Onana, Sébastien Haller, Wilfried Zaha) playing for their countries at full intensity, in atmosphere unmatched by club football. Algeria's Riyad Mahrez, Morocco's Hakim Ziyech, Senegal's Sadio Mané, Egypt's Mo Salah — most have lifted the trophy at least once.
Rights are scattered across the world: beIN Sports holds MENA (~€15/month, the primary destination for AFCON streams); StarTimes and SuperSport split sub-Saharan Africa (~$30/month for SuperSport); BBC and ITV carry select matches free-to-air in the UK; FuboTV and beIN carry the US English feed; in France it's beIN Sports + Canal+. Many English-speaking fans struggle to find every match in their language because the UK free-to-air coverage is selective and the US-based options are split.
PremiumIPTV bundles every AFCON match in HD (4K where the host broadcaster provides it, which is most knock-out matches) with English (beIN English / BBC), Arabic (beIN Arabic, with stars Hafiz Daraji and Issam Chaouali), French (Canal+ Sport), Spanish, Portuguese, Yoruba, Swahili, Wolof and more African-language tracks where available. Plus AFCON Women's, U-23 and U-20 editions when they fall in the calendar. The package covers the full African football ecosystem alongside Premier League, La Liga, Champions League, World Cup 2026 — one app, one bill. From €5/month annual.
