Afcon 2025: How to look at each match without spending a dime on TV and on-line

The Africa Cup of Nations is back and every game will be available to watch in the United Kingdom across Channel 4.

The broadcaster has secured exclusive rights to the 24-team tournament and will show every game on Channel 4, E4 or 4Seven, or online on Channel 4’s streaming service.

Hosts Morocco, who are also the tournament favourites, kicked off the Africa Cup of Nations with a 2-0 win over Comoros on Sunday, with Senegal, Nigeria, Algeria, Ivory Coast and Cameroon all in action over the coming days.

Ivory Coast are the defending champions, having beaten Nigeria in the final two years ago to win the tournament on home soil, while Mohamed Salah scored for the second game in a row to send Egypt through to the last-16 with a 1-0 win over South Africa.
