How to Watch the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Bangladesh
The 2026 FIFA World Cup promises thrilling moments, with intense matches unfolding from June 11 to July 19. Football fans in Bangladesh have a great opportunity: all 104 matches will be broadcast live and free, thanks to Bangladesh Television (BTV) and the Toffee app.
Free Live Streams on BTV and Toffee
Bangladesh is among the few nations offering every match at no cost. The government secured broadcasting rights for $3.85 million, easily offset by advertising during games. Cable viewers can watch matches directly on BTV.
For those who don't use cable, there's an alternative. Users on the Banglalink network with an active 30-day data or mixed bundle can stream matches for free via the Toffee app. Non-Banglalink users may also access the streams with a tournament pass priced between Tk 99 and Tk 129 (roughly $1).
Other Networks and Apps
Grameenphone subscribers can access World Cup coverage through apps like Bioscope+, MyGP, and Skitto by purchasing a Tk 97 data bundle valid for 50 days.
Watching From Abroad
Streaming on Toffee requires a Bangladeshi IP address. If you're outside Bangladesh, connecting through a VPN to a Bangladeshi server lets you watch as if at home.
Traveling foreigners can use services like Norton VPN (which offers a 60-day money-back guarantee) to connect to their usual countries and access free World Cup streams on platforms such as BBC iPlayer and ITVX in the UK, SBS On Demand in Australia, and RTE Player in Ireland.
