CANAL+ has secured the exclusive broadcasting rights for UEFA club competitions in sub-Saharan Africa for the period from 2027 to 2031. The agreement, announced on August 6, 2026, covers the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, and UEFA Conference League.
This deal ensures that football fans across the region will continue to have access to top European club matches via CANAL+ platforms. The French broadcaster has been a long-standing partner of UEFA in Africa, and this renewal extends their relationship for another four seasons.
Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed. However, the deal is seen as a strategic move by CANAL+ to strengthen its sports offering in the region, where football has a massive following.
UEFA's club competitions are among the most-watched sporting events globally, and securing these rights is crucial for broadcasters aiming to attract and retain subscribers in emerging markets.
