The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has confirmed that daily highlights from the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) are now available on Netflix across Sub-Saharan Africa, providing fans with easier access to African football.
Subscribers can enjoy short daily highlight shows showcasing goals, top moments, and match action. While full live games are not included, viewers can relive the most exciting plays from the Morocco-hosted tournament.
Historic Streaming Collaboration
This is the first time CAF has made AFCON content available on a global streaming platform. The Morocco 2025 tournament, already drawing record attention, is now reaching younger, mobile-first audiences who increasingly prefer on-demand viewing and short-form content over traditional TV broadcasts.
By launching highlights on Netflix, CAF is responding to changing viewing habits across Africa, where digital platforms are becoming the preferred way to follow football.
Easy Access for Millions of Fans
With Netflix already serving millions of users in Sub-Saharan Africa, fans can now watch AFCON highlights without subscribing to extra sports channels. The initiative makes the tournament more accessible, allowing casual viewers to enjoy football alongside their favourite shows and movies.
CAF highlighted that the move is part of a broader strategy to expand African football’s digital footprint. The tournament has already been broadcast in over 180 countries, and Netflix highlights enhance its reach and visibility even further.
Engaging Fans with Digital Content
As streaming adoption grows across the continent, CAF’s Netflix partnership reflects a shift toward short-form, on-demand football content, keeping fans engaged throughout the tournament. Highlights allow viewers to catch up quickly on goals and key plays, even if they miss live coverage.
Interest in AFCON 2025 continues to be strong, with Morocco and Nigeria among the remaining teams and intense matches driving excitement across the continent.
Shaping the Future of African Football Online
CAF’s collaboration with Netflix represents a new era in distributing African football content, combining traditional TV rights with digital-first platforms. This approach positions CAF to connect with a tech-savvy, mobile-first generation, shaping how African football is consumed in the years ahead.
