KUALA LUMPUR, May 6 -- Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) and Unifi TV have been made the official broadcasters of the FIFA World Cup 2026 in Malaysia in an effort by the government to ensure the public can enjoy the tournament in an inclusive, legitimate and comprehensive manner. Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said the decision was made through collaboration with the private sector to ensure high-quality broadcasting and a wider reach to the audience nationwide. He said the tournament would be broadcast on various platforms, including free-to-air via MyTV as well as OTT platforms through RTM Klik and Unifi TV. “Comprehensive coverage covering all 104 matches will be broadcast live on Unifi TV, while RTM will air the majority of matches either live or on a delayed basis. This provides a variety of viewing options for fans,” he said at a weekly press conference at Angkasapuri here today. Also present were Deputy Communications Minister Teo Nie Ching, Communications Ministry Secretary-General Datuk Abdul Halim Hamzah, Bernama Chief Executive Officer Datin Paduka Nur-ul Afida Kamaludin, Bernama Deputy Editor-in-Chief of News Services Mohd Shukri Ishak and RTM Director-General Ashwad Ismail. Elaborating further, Fahmi said the Grandstand programme would be produced from Angkasapuri with primary delivery in Malay as well as partially in English, while the latest updates would also be shared through the Selamat Pagi Malaysia programme. “In addition, public viewing events will be organised at selected locations on a modest scale to enhance fan engagement,” he said. He said several main sponsors to support the effort had been identified and were being finalised, with an announcement expected in the near future. Commenting on the cost, Fahmi, who is also MADANI Government spokesman, said the government had allocated RM24 million, which had been approved earlier, for the purpose. “There are several elements, including sponsorships from relevant parties, and we will announce these sponsorships in the near future. But on the government’s side, the expenditure is RM24 million,” he said. Meanwhile, he also stressed the importance of compliance with anti-piracy regulations for all content related to the sporting event. “All parties are urged to play their roles responsibly and enforcement action will continue to be strengthened against any violations,” he said, expressing hope that the tournament would unite the people through the spirit of sport and togetherness. The United States (US) will co-host the 2026 World Cup with Mexico and Canada, with the opening match taking place in Mexico City on June 11, while the final is scheduled to be held in New Jersey on July 19. -- BERNAMA
