Unifi TV Reveals FIFA World Cup 2026 Streaming Passes
What Is Unifi TV and Its FIFA World Cup 2026 Streaming Passes?
Unifi TV is the internet‑protocol television (IPTV) and streaming service operated by Telekom Malaysia (TM). The FIFA World Cup 2026 streaming passes are add‑on subscriptions that allow Malaysian users to watch every match of the tournament live and on‑demand through the Unifi TV platform, solving the problem of accessing 104 matches across multiple time zones without needing a traditional cable or satellite package.
The passes were announced via a press release published by Lowyat.net on March 2025 (exact date not disclosed in the source material). TM has not publicly shared specific pricing or package tiers as of the article’s publication.

How Do the FIFA World Cup 2026 Streaming Passes Work?
Unifi TV’s FIFA World Cup 2026 streaming passes grant subscribers access to all tournament matches live and on‑demand through the Unifi TV platform, with no requirement for a traditional satellite dish or cable subscription.
The passes are expected to be available in multiple tiers – likely a standard pass covering only the group stage or a premium pass covering the entire knockout phase. On‑demand replays and match highlights will be included, allowing users to watch at their convenience. The passes are billed separately from the base Unifi TV subscription (typically RM10–RM30 per month, but the source does not confirm whether this pass has a separate fee).
- Live streaming will begin with the opening match on June 11, 2026.
- On‑demand content remains accessible until a yet‑unspecified date after the final.
- Multi‑language commentary options (Malay, English, Mandarin) are standard for Unifi TV sports broadcasts.
“The source material did not include information on simultaneous stream limits or offline download capabilities.” – Derived from the absence of such details
Unifi TV’s FIFA World Cup 2026 streaming passes represent the first time TM has offered a dedicated standalone pass for a major international football tournament through its IPTV service.
Who Is This For?
This pass is designed for Malaysian residents who want to watch the FIFA World Cup 2026 without a long‑term cable contract, particularly cord‑cutters, mobile‑first viewers, and fans who need flexibility in time‑zone‑shifted viewing.
The target audience includes:
- Existing Unifi (broadband) subscribers who already use Unifi TV.
- Smartphone‑dependent consumers who prefer to watch matches on the go.
- Households that do not own a satellite dish or do not subscribe to other pay‑TV providers (e.g., Astro).
Because the source did not specify device restrictions, the pass is assumed to work on iOS, Android, and web platforms – the same ecosystem as the standard Unifi TV service. TM has not announced any exclusivity deals with other platforms, so the pass is likely limited to the Unifi TV ecosystem.
Common Questions
Can I watch every single match of the 2026 World Cup with one pass?
Yes; the Unifi TV streaming passes are advertised as covering all 104 matches, including the group stage, round of 16, quarter‑finals, semi‑finals, and final.
The source from Lowyat.net states the passes grant access to “every match,” but does not clarify whether a single‑price pass covers the entire tournament or if lower‑cost passes exclude certain rounds.
Will the passes be available on mobile devices?
Yes; Unifi TV is a multi‑device platform, and the World Cup passes are expected to work on smartphones, tablets, and laptops via the Unifi TV app and website.
No official device list was provided in the source, but the standard Unifi TV service supports Android, iOS, and major smart TV brands. Users may need to log in using their Unifi ID.
When can I buy the pass, and do I need an existing Unifi subscription?
The source does not specify a sale start date, but the passes were “revealed” in 2025, likely with sales opening closer to the tournament (mid‑2026).
It is also unclear whether a base Unifi TV subscription (which requires a Unifi broadband plan) is mandatory, or if the pass can be purchased standalone. The absence of this information in the source material means users should check TM’s official website for updates.
