The 2026 World Cup is less than two months away, and yet Malaysia still does not have an official broadcaster for the greatest football tournament on the planet. The broadcasting rights for the tournament are reported to be around RM200 million, with FIFA citing an expanded field of 48 teams, up from 32, and 104 matches, up from 64, as the reasons behind the high fee. With local broadcasters struggling to manage the high costs amid economic uncertainty, will Malaysians end up missing out on the World Cup altogether? To break it all down, we're joined by Sandru Narayanan, news and sports journalist from Scoop.my.
