European club football makes its highly anticipated return this week, just three weeks after the conclusion of the FIFA World Cup 2026. Broadcaster is set to provide live and exclusive coverage of the 2026-27 season across 24 markets in the Middle East and North Africa.

He noted that beIN has served as the home of football in the region for over two decades and remains committed to maintaining high standards of broadcast quality, offering the comprehensive, award-winning coverage that viewers expect.
The season kicks off with the UEFA Super Cup on 12 August in Salzburg. The match features Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain against Europa League champions Aston Villa, who are making their first appearance in the fixture since 1982. PSG will look to secure back-to-back titles in a match that serves as the traditional curtain-raiser for the European calendar.
League action intensifies on 15 August as the Turkish Süper Lig and LaLiga begin their respective campaigns. The Premier League and Ligue 1 follow on 21 August, highlighted by champions Arsenal hosting newly promoted Coventry City. In Spain, attention is focused on the return of Jose Mourinho to Real Madrid after a 13-year hiatus, while in France, PSG begins its defense of the Ligue 1 title. Every match from these leagues, along with key fixtures from the Turkish Süper Lig, will be available exclusively on beIN.
The season also marks a significant shift in the Turkish top flight, as Egyptian star Mohamed Salah joins Trabzonspor following his departure from Liverpool. Fresh from leading Egypt to the Round of 16 at the 2026 World Cup, Salah’s major matches will be broadcast live on beIN and its streaming platform, TOD by beIN.
