Zee wins FIFA broadcast rights across India through 2034
Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited has acquired the broadcast rights for FIFA events from 2026 to 2034. This encompasses the FIFA World Cup 2026, FIFA World Cup 2030, and FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027, among other tournaments. The deal grants Zee exclusive media rights for linear and digital platforms across India and its subcontinent territories including Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Pakistan.
Key Takeaways
- The rights run from 2026 to 2034 and include FIFA World Cup 2026, FIFA World Cup 2030, and FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027.
- Zee gets exclusive media rights on both linear and digital platforms.
- Coverage includes India plus Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Pakistan.
- The deal falls under content licensing in the video streaming and delivery platforms category.
Why It Matters
Zee now holds exclusive FIFA media rights across linear and digital platforms in India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Pakistan for an eight-year span. That gives the company control over marquee live football inventory across both broadcast and streaming distribution in a large regional market. The key ecosystem signal is the breadth of the package: the rights cover multiple FIFA tournaments, not just a single World Cup cycle. Watch for how Zee plans to distribute the 2026 World Cup and whether the same rights package is used across its linear and digital channels.
