Caption: World Cup 2026 Broadcast Uncertainty Hits India and China. Millions of football fans in India and China could miss the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026 as broadcast deals remain unresolved just weeks before kickoff. In India, a joint venture between Reliance Industries and The Walt Disney Company has offered far below FIFA’s asking price, while Sony Group has opted not to bid at all. Negotiations are ongoing, but time is running out. Meanwhile, China—one of the largest football audiences globally—has yet to confirm any official broadcaster, an unusual delay compared to previous tournaments. FIFA says discussions are still in progress, but the lack of agreements raises concerns about reaching billions of viewers. With the tournament set to begin soon, the clock is ticking to secure deals, build broadcast systems, and ensure fans don’t miss one of the world’s biggest sporting events.
