Bangladesh Television (BTV) has secured the broadcasting rights for all 104 matches of the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026, ending uncertainty over which channels will air the tournament in Bangladesh. According to the report, BTV purchased the full broadcasting rights from FIFA and has sub-licensed them to two private channels, T-Sports and Somoy TV. This arrangement ensures that Bangladeshi viewers will be able to watch every match live on these three channels.
The report states that BTV acquired the rights for approximately 3.5 million US dollars, equivalent to about 42.7 crore Bangladeshi taka, after extensive discussions and negotiations with FIFA. Initially, FIFA had demanded nearly double that amount. While T-Sports has already received an official partnership letter from BTV, Somoy TV is still working to meet the required technical and encryption standards necessary for international broadcast compliance.
Somoy TV’s broadcast head, Salauddin Selim, said the channel expects to resolve its technical issues within a few days, aiming to be ready before June 11 to join the World Cup telecast.
