Var Sänds VM 2026 — Panama

Panama’s broadcast landscape splits between the two dominant free-to-air groups: TVN Panama on Channel 2 and Medcom’s RPC (Channel 4) and COS Sports networks. Both have publicly confirmed free coverage of all Panama matches and a curated selection of marquee fixtures including the opener on June 11 and the final on July 19. Tigo Sports, owned by Millicom, completes the picture with subscription access to every match across TV and the Tigo Sports streaming app — the pay-TV option for viewers who want every group-stage fixture from every group.

The 2026 tournament is only Panama’s second World Cup appearance, following the 2018 debut in Russia. La Marea Roja qualified through CONCACAF and head to North America with a young squad still building experience at the senior level. Panama’s group-stage matches land at North American venues with kick-off times in EST/PYT — most fixtures fall into the late-morning and early-evening windows ideal for the Panamanian viewing audience. TVN and Medcom both run dedicated studio programming with former Panamanian internationals as on-air analysts.
