North Korea's state-run Korean Central Television (KCTV) is accused of illegally airing FIFA World Cup 2026 matches without securing broadcast rights. Allegations surfaced via Alerta Mundial, which claimed KCTV intercepted foreign satellite signals to broadcast matches, including those between Ivory Coast and Ecuador. The broadcasts reportedly included unedited U.S. commercials, raising copyright infringement concerns. North Korea has a history of similar unauthorized broadcasts, including during the 2022 World Cup and the Women's World Cup in 2023. FIFA has not yet commented on the allegations, but potential disciplinary actions could follow if confirmed. The absence of a unified broadcast contract for the 2026 tournament has contributed to this situation.
