Filipino fans get the opportunity to witness another sporting spectacle when the FIFA World Cup 2026™ begins on June 12 in three countries – Canada, Mexico and the United States.
Tap DMV brings the tournament closer to the Philippines with the announcement of a collaboration with Aleph, the media rights distributor of the FIFA World Cup 2026™ across the country. Filipino fans can secure an “all-access pass” to watch every single one of the record-breaking 104 matches, streaming on WCTV by Aleph Arena at BlastTV.
Recently, Aleph announced a pioneering multichannel model distribution for the FIFA World Cup 2026™, including OTT as the collaboration with BlastTV, original content on Aleph Arena social media and the network of private TV venues across the country. With this fan-first approach, Aleph takes the match where the fan goes by bringing the FIFA World Cup 2026™ in one connected ecosystem.
“Football has officially moved from the sidelines to the center of the Philippine sports conversation. We are seeing a fundamental shift in fan culture, where digital content creation has become a primary way for fans to live and share the sport in real-time. For brands in the Philippines, this is a massive opportunity to connect with an audience that is more mobile, more expressive, and more invested in the game than ever before.” said Anna Dy, Aleph Country Head for the Philippines.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup will feature an expanded format of 48 teams and a staggering 104 matches, guaranteeing longer and more intense action.
Those matches are certain to produce underdog stories and high-stakes drama than any previous iteration.
Through BlastTV’s world-class OTT (Over-the-Top) platform, Aleph is ensuring that the sheer magnitude of this event is matched by the quality of its delivery. Fans can stream every match live in high definition, bringing the electric atmosphere of North American stadiums directly to their mobile devices, tablets, and smart TVs.
In celebration of the partnership and to give back to the passionate local football community, Aleph and BlastTV launched an Early Bird Promotion that ended only last Monday.
The company content portfolio includes ATP, WTA, NFL, NHL, LPGA Tour and Studio Universal.
“The FIFA World Cup 2026 is the pinnacle of sporting excellence, and we’re excited to help bring this historic tournament closer to Filipino fans,” said Celinda de Guia, President and CEO of Tap DMV. “With BlastTV, we’re tapping into a platform that reflects the digital-first habits of today’s audience, making it easier than ever for Filipinos to experience every moment of the world’s biggest sporting event.”
