Where to watch the FIFA ASEAN Cup 2026 live? Which channel?

Currently, FIFA and related parties have not announced the broadcast rights holder for the FIFA ASEAN Cup 2026 in Vietnam. We will update information on TV channels and streaming platforms as soon as official announcements are made.

When does the FIFA ASEAN Cup 2026 take place?

As confirmed by FIFA, the FIFA ASEAN Cup 2026 will be held from September 24 to October 3, 2026,within the FIFA Days window. This is a completely new tournament directly managed and operated by FIFA, separate from the traditional ASEAN Championship (AFF Cup).

Being held during FIFA Days allows teams to call up their strongest squads, including players competing abroad. Additionally, match results will count toward FIFA rankings based on the coefficient for FIFA Days fixtures, thereby increasing the tournament's professional significance.

A notable point is that the tournament's scale is not limited to the 11 AFF members. FIFA has invited Pakistan and Hong Kong (China) to participate, raising the total number of teams to 13 and increasing the competitiveness of the regional competition.

Which group is the Vietnamese national team in?

According to the draw results announced by FIFA, the Vietnamese national team is in Group B of Division 1,along with three opponents: Thailand, the Philippines, and Pakistan. This is considered a highly competitive group, as it brings together two of Southeast Asia's top football nations.

Meanwhile, Group A of Division 1 consists of Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and India. The Division 1 matches will be hosted in Indonesia.

In Division 2, Group A includes Hong Kong (China), Myanmar, and Brunei, while Group B features Cambodia, Laos, and Timor-Leste. Matches in this division will take place in Hong Kong (China).

The adoption of a two-division format is expected to help teams regularly face opponents of similar ability, thereby improving professional quality and creating additional motivation for promotion and relegation battles each season.

According to the plan, FIFA will continue to announce the detailed match schedule and official regulations for the FIFA ASEAN Cup 2026 in the coming period. Member associations are currently completing registration procedures to prepare for the tournament's first edition.
