Questions
Is Gulf Cup 27 on TV in India?
Not that we could find. No Indian channel or DTH pack lists it, and all nine official broadcasters are Gulf channels such as Al Kass, Abu Dhabi Sports and MBC. YouTube is the way to watch.
Can I watch Gulf Cup 27 for free in India?
Yes. AD Sports and Bahrain Sports stream matches live and free on YouTube, and their streams are open in India. Full replays of every match so far are on the same channels.
How can I watch Gulf Cup 27 live in India?
Open the AD Sports or Bahrain Sports YouTube channel at kick-off. Each picks its own matches, so one may not carry the game you want.
What time do Gulf Cup 27 matches start in India?
India is two and a half hours ahead of Jeddah, so the evening games start between 9:25 pm and 11:30 pm India time. The final on 6 October kicks off at 11:30 pm.
Is there English commentary?
Not on the coverage we checked. The AD Sports and Bahrain Sports YouTube streams carry Arabic commentary.

How we checked
- YouTube streams: each video’s own country list was read on 25 September 2026. The AD Sports UAE v Yemen stream, both Bahrain Sports streams (Qatar v Bahrain, UAE v Yemen) and the AD Sports Iraq v Oman highlights are each open in 249 countries, India included. Broadcasters choose match by match, so a given game may be on one channel, both or neither.
- AD Sports full-match replays: Iraq v Oman, Saudi Arabia v Kuwait and UAE v Yemen, about two hours each, all open in India. Qatar v Bahrain is not on AD Sports in full (its upload is a two-minute clip); the full match is the Bahrain Sports live stream, about 3 hours 46 minutes with build-up, open in India. Checked 25 September 2026.
- Other routes were left off because we could not confirm they play in India: the Shasha and Shoof apps, and MBC Shahid, which showed no sport outside the Gulf.
- Kick-off times are Saudi time plus two and a half hours. Group-stage times are from The National and Wego’s Jeddah guide. Semi-final times differ between sources, so they show as not set yet. The final is 21:00 Saudi time, per the Saudi Press Agency.
- This page lists official broadcasters only. It does not cover VPNs or unofficial streams.
