Where to watch AFCON 2027 in Ethiopia
No broadcaster in Ethiopia has been named for AFCON 2027, and none was recorded for the previous edition either. What exists is a regional agreement covering this part of Africa without naming the country.
CAF's international rights mandate lapsed after the previous edition and the current tender covers 2028 onwards, not 2027. Until a deal is announced, treat any country-by-country broadcaster list for 2027 — including this one — as last edition's picture.

Free options
No free-to-air option is recorded for this country. Every channel listed above requires a subscription.
What time matches start here
Matches are played in East Africa, which runs on UTC+3 all year. Ethiopia is the same time as the venues, so a fixture kicking off in the evening at the venues lands correspondingly earlier or later here.
Exact kick-off times have not been published by CAF, so no clock times are shown anywhere on this site.
Common questions
- Will AFCON 2027 be shown in Ethiopia?
- Not yet. No broadcaster has confirmed 2027 rights in this country. Rights to this edition are almost entirely unsold so far: only the national broadcasters of Kenya and Tanzania have been named. We have no channels to list for this country.
- Is there a free way to watch in Ethiopia?
- No free-to-air coverage is recorded for this country: every channel we know of requires a subscription. That can change — public broadcasters across Africa often buy late, sometimes only weeks before the opening match.
- Why do the lists I find elsewhere look different?
- Because almost all of them describe AFCON 2025, played in Morocco, without saying so. Rights are sold edition by edition and country by country: a 2025 broadcaster holds no claim on 2027. We label each channel with the edition it is confirmed for rather than copying an older list forward.
