Football enthusiasts in Brazil are in for a treat as CazeTV, a sports media channel backed by Cristiano Ronaldo, has announced it will stream the FIFA World Cup 2026 for free on YouTube. This event will take place across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and CazeTV will broadcast all 104 matches in stunning 4K quality. Additionally, viewers can expect behind-the-scenes content and interactive programs aimed at engaging younger audiences. However, Indian fans will be disappointed to learn that this free streaming service is restricted to Brazil only, as CazeTV has acquired digital rights solely for that region. Currently, there is no official word on who will broadcast the World Cup in India, but reports indicate that the Zee Group is close to securing the rights, with a deal estimated between $30-35 million (around ₹250-290 crore). If finalized, Indian fans will be able to watch the matches live on Zee's television channels and its OTT platform, Zee5, following the withdrawal of the Reliance-Disney alliance from the bidding process.
