Womens Africa Cup of Nations 2026: live coverage options for Mali v Cape Verde

Mali’s decisive Women’s Africa Cup of Nations 2026 meeting with Cape Verde will be shown live across a range of television networks and digital platforms this evening.

Kick-off is scheduled for 20:00 UTC, which is 22:00 local time in Bamako. Supporters in different parts of Africa will have several ways to follow the match, depending on their location and the services available to them.

Across francophone sub-Saharan Africa, the game will be broadcast live on the CANAL+ Afrique packages. Viewers in those countries can use the relevant CANAL+ television bouquet to watch the meeting as it happens.

In anglophone Africa, the match will be available on SuperSport through DStv. That provides coverage for supporters in the English-speaking parts of the continent who subscribe to the satellite television service.

The fixture can also be watched in North Africa via beIN SPORTS MENA. Subscribers in that region will be able to access the live broadcast through the beIN SPORTS MENA network.

For supporters who rely on mobile devices, or those living in areas without an exclusive broadcaster, the Confederation of African Football is offering an alternative. CAF will provide a free live stream through its official CAF TV channel on YouTube.

That option means viewers without access to one of the main television packages can still follow the decisive match online. The CAF TV stream is particularly suited to supporters watching through a computer or mobile device, provided they have an internet connection.

Satellite television subscribers can also use the dedicated digital applications linked to their services. MyCanal, beIN CONNECT and the SuperSport mobile application can be used to follow the match on smartphones and tablets.

These platforms give subscribers the opportunity to watch away from a traditional television set, while the television broadcasts remain available through the relevant regional providers.

The choice of broadcaster therefore depends on where the supporter is watching from. CANAL+ Afrique is the main option for francophone sub-Saharan Africa, SuperSport on DStv serves anglophone Africa, and beIN SPORTS MENA covers North Africa. CAF TV offers a free digital alternative for viewers who do not have access to an exclusive broadcaster.

With the match listed for 20:00 UTC, supporters can choose between television coverage, subscription-based streaming services and CAF’s official YouTube broadcast before Mali and Cape Verde meet in this important Women’s Africa Cup of Nations 2026 fixture.
