How the broadcaster list was checked
- “Confirmed” means the broadcaster is on the Gulf Football Union’s official list of rights holders, as reported on 23 and 24 September 2026. “No local channel named” means no channel based in that country is on the list.
- The list grew during the opening days. An early report said three entities held rights, which Al Jazeera corrected to five on 23 September, and the union has since added Saudi Sports, MBC, Bahrain TV and Sharjah Sports. It says further additions will be announced on its official channels.
- Sharjah Sports appears on the union’s list as reported by Al-Kas newspaper, but not yet on Al Jazeera’s list.
- Holding rights to the tournament does not guarantee every match airs on every channel in every territory. Check the channel’s own schedule on match day.
- Thmanyah, the Iraqi Sports Channel and beIN Sports appeared in some early published schedules but are not on the official list.
- Satellite frequencies are Al Kass’s own published technical details from its official site.
