PUTRAJAYA: The public is encouraged to download the “RTM Klik” application to ensure they can watch the FIFA World Cup 2026 matches for free.
Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said the tournament would be aired by RTM and Unifi TV as the official broadcasters of the FIFA World Cup 2026 in Malaysia.
“This is the first time in 20 years that we are providing free World Cup broadcasts for all Malaysians.
“What Malaysians need to do to ensure they do not miss watching the matches for free is to download RTM Klik, or they can watch them anywhere through MyTV and RTM,” he told reporters after attending the ministry’s monthly assembly yesterday, Bernama reported.
Fahmi also urged RTM and Unifi TV to review the football match broadcasts to ensure there were no excessive restrictions that could affect the public’s viewing experience.
“I want this to be looked into to ensure there are no unreasonable restrictions for Malaysians to enjoy the live broadcasts,” he said.
He added that several programmes would be organised ahead of the tournament, widely considered the largest and most prestigious single-sport event in the world.
Last week, Fahmi said the FIFA World Cup 2026, to run from June 11 to July 19, would be broadcast on various platforms, including free-to-air broadcasts via MyTV, as well as streaming platforms through RTM Klik and Unifi TV to ensure comprehensive access.
He said all 104 matches would be broadcast live on Unifi TV, while RTM would air most of the matches either live or on delayed telecast.
The United States will co-host the World Cup with Mexico and Canada.
The opening match will take place in Mexico City on June 11, while the final will be held in New Jersey on July 19.
