BG Sports will broadcast all games involving Thai teams in the following AFC tournaments: the 2027 Asian Cup in Saudi Arabia, the 2026 Women’s Asian Cup in Australia, the 2026 and 2028 U23 Asian Cups, the Women’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament (Final Round) for Los Angeles 2028, the 2027 U20 Asian Cup, the 2026, 2027, and 2028 U17 Asian Cups, the 2026 and 2028 U20 Women’s Asian Cups, the 2026, 2027, and 2028 U17 Women’s Asian Cups, the 2026 and 2028 Futsal Asian Cups, and the Women’s Champions League from 2025/26 to 2028/29.
On the extension, Datuk Seri Windsor John, General Secretary, AFC, said:
“The AFC has worked closely with BG Sports to bring the AFC’s competitions to football fans in Thailand, and we are delighted to be able to offer even more world-class action with this partnership extension. The quality and standards of our competitions continue to be elevated with every campaign, and we are grateful to BG Sports for their cooperation and belief in Asian football.”
