The Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) will air all 104 matches of the
2026 FIFA World Cup live and free on Channel 1, after Treasury Cabinet
Secretary John Mbadi confirmed government approval of around Sh150 million in
funding.
The
tournament starts June 11 across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with
matches also on pay-TV like SuperSport. Fans expressed huge relief online,
though some worry about KBC's picture quality and late-night kickoffs for East
Africa.
