Maldives – Football fans across the Maldives are gearing up for an exciting evening as Public Service Media (PSM) hosts the official launching ceremony for its broadcast of the FIFA World Cup 2026 tonight at 22:00.
The highly anticipated event marks the start of free live coverage of the world’s biggest football tournament, made possible through PSM’s partnership with MediaNet. All matches will be available at no cost to viewers across the country via PSM’s platforms.
This initiative builds on a formal agreement signed earlier between PSM and MediaNet, ensuring comprehensive live broadcasting of the tournament. PSM Managing Director Ahmed Shakeeb previously highlighted that every match will air live and free of charge, bringing the excitement of the World Cup directly to Maldivian homes.
A Historic Opportunity for Local Fans
The 2026 FIFA World Cup, co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, promises to be one of the largest editions yet, with expanded teams and a packed schedule. PSM’s free-to-air coverage is expected to make the event accessible to a wide audience, especially with matches spanning various time zones that could air from afternoon into late night and early morning hours in the Maldives.
The launching ceremony will set the stage for what organizers call “the greatest football show on earth.” Fans are encouraged to tune in and show their support.
