Where to watch AFCON 2027 in India
Rights for AFCON 2027 in India are still unsold. The listing below covers the previous edition.
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.
Channels and what they actually hold
| Where to watch | Status | Rights confirmed for 2027 |
|---|---|---|
| FanCode | Subscription | Held rights for the 2025 edition |
Each row states the edition a broadcaster is publicly confirmed for. Where that is an earlier edition, we say so rather than carrying it over to 2027.
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. India is ahead by 2 hours, 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 India?
- 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. The 1 channels listed here hold rights to other editions.
- Is there a free way to watch in India?
- 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.
