FIFA finalizes a broadcasting agreement with China Media Group (CMG) covering FIFA’s Men’s and Women’s World Cup tournaments in mainland China through 2031. Multiple reports say FIFA announced the deal and that it is published on FIFA’s official website. Under the terms described by outlets, CMG receives broadcast rights and exclusivity in mainland China, with the arrangement including the men’s World Cups in 2026 and 2030. The agreement is also described as granting media and sublicensing rights for additional FIFA events, with coverage extending to both men’s and women’s competitions. Separate reporting frames the announcement as part of FIFA’s wider commercial and audience strategy for the Chinese market, as China remains a major growth region for viewership. The exact start and detailed scope for each tournament are presented as part of the formal FIFA announcement, with the agreement extending into the early 2030s. FIFA continues to confirm and publish the rights structure as the 2026 tournament approaches.
