To unlock the World Cup channels, subscribe for Ksh 950 per month.
4. DStv Stream App
DStv has confirmed it will broadcast all 104 matches live on the DStv Stream app, meaning you do not need a satellite dish to watch. Download the app from your device’s official app store whether on mobile or smart TV. For a laptop, visit the DStv Stream website instead.

5. FIFA+
FIFA+ is the official FIFA platform for streaming live matches, highlights, replays, and football documentaries. Registration is free and streaming starts immediately after signing up. Not all 104 matches will be available here since FIFA+ streams only selected matches.
FIFA+ works best for watching World Cup replays, highlights, and condensed match recaps. To access free live streams, visit the official FIFA+ website or download the FIFA+ app from your app store.
6. YouTube
For the first time, FIFA has integrated YouTube into its digital streaming strategy to reach a wider audience. You can access the first ten minutes of every match for free through official broadcaster channels like the FIFA YouTube channel, Azam TV, and SuperSport.
These channels have also been permitted to stream select World Cup matches in full. If you miss the live action, extended match highlights will also be available on the same channels.
7. TikTok
TikTok has become one of FIFA’s preferred platforms for streaming parts of the FIFA World Cup 2026 live matches. You will not be able to watch full 90-minute matches on TikTok.
Official broadcasters in Kenya like Azam TV and SuperSport will be permitted to stream portions of team training sessions, highlights, exclusive behind the scenes content, and press conferences on TikTok.
8. KBC (Kenya Broadcasting Corporation)
After a long wait, KBC has finally struck a deal with FIFA to broadcast the FIFA World Cup 2026 live. You can now watch selected matches for free on your TV with no subscription required. KBC will cover the group stage, round of 16, quarterfinals, semifinals, and the final.
Conclusion
