Chinese football fans will get to see the 2026 FIFA World Cup on television, after a rights deal is reached.
China Media Group, the parent of China's state broadcaster, has finally reached a World Cup broadcasting deal with FIFA, ending a standoff over TV rights less than a month before the men's tournament kicks off in the US, Mexico and Canada.
The package covers the 2026 and 2030 men's tournaments as well as the Women's World Cups in 2027 and 2031, state broadcaster CCTV said.
China has the world's largest football fan base with roughly 200 million people following the game.
