Disney+ adds CazéTV in Brazil as Fox takes World Cup into US airports
Disney+ in Brazil and ReachTV in US airports have added new distribution layers for FIFA World Cup 2026 coverage, widening access via streaming bundles and out-of-home screens.
Disney has integrated creator-led sports channel CazéTV into Disney+ in Brazil, expanding the platform’s live football offer as the FIFA World Cup 2026 approaches.The move matters because it pushes premium football into a mainstream entertainment subscription, strengthening retention and giving rights holders another high-scale route to younger audiences that already consume sport in social formats.CazéTV, operated by LiveMode and influencer Casemiro Miguel, has built a large domestic following and holds rights in Brazil to stream all 104 matches of the FIFA World Cup 2026.Renato D’Angelo, general manager of Disney in Brazil, said: “We’re excited to bring CazéTV to our platform. The partnership between Disney+ and LiveMode is another step in our strategy to expand access to sports content on the platform, which already offers the entire ESPN catalogue, the number one sports brand in the world.”Disney+ subscribers in Brazil can access CazéTV content at no additional cost, with the channel’s wider rights mix also including European club competitions and domestic leagues.In the United States, Fox Sports has agreed a separate distribution partnership with ReachTV to show every World Cup match live across airport screens.ReachTV said it reaches 51 million monthly viewers across more than 80 airports, positioning the deal as a travel-led extension of Fox’s English-language World Cup rights.Rachel Jacobson, chief executive of ReachTV, said: “Live sports is one of the highest engagement categories for travelers in airports, and this partnership adds to our growing live sports and entertainment portfolio. Teaming with FOX Sports lets us bring these moments to fans and travelers in a meaningful way.”The agreement covers all 104 matches plus pregame shows, highlights, match replays and shoulder content including host city features and team previews, with activations planned at host city airports.Bill Wanger, Fox Sports executive vice president and head of programming and scheduling, said: “What better way to extend our FIFA World Cup 2026 footprint than by bringing the world’s greatest sporting event, along with FOX’s premium shoulder programming, to ReachTV screens across domestic airports throughout the United States.”Both moves reflect the same commercial logic. Broadcasters and platforms are chasing incremental reach during a 104-match tournament, while rights holders look to protect relevance as viewing fragments across devices and locations.
