html On the afternoon of the 35th, the Chinese Football Association announced the broadcast platform for the evening match between the Chinese men's football team and the Japanese team in the top 18 of the World Preliminaries. CCTV has confirmed that it will not broadcast it. The only domestic broadcast platform is iQiyi Sports. According to the broadcaster, this game of the National Football Team is not free. If you want to watch this game, non-member users need to pay 9 yuan to watch.

As the first round of 18 match for the 2026 World Cup, the match between the Chinese team and the Japanese team is naturally very important. Although the strength of the national football team is quite different from that of its opponents, and it is more difficult to score points in away games, the game still attracts a lot of attention. According to everyone’s game viewing habits, CCTV must be one of their first choices. It is understood that the AFC has negotiated with media platforms such as CCTV and Migu, but no cooperation has been reached. It is reported that the biggest point of disagreement between the two parties is the copyright price. The AFC has also communicated with media platforms about a payment-sharing model, but negotiations in this area have only been limited. In the face of high basic copyright fees, the payment split model is not very attractive to media platforms.

In the end, iQiyi became the only broadcast platform in China, and cctv5’s broadcast plan for the same period was to record and broadcast the Paris Paralympic table tennis competition, as well as broadcast the fifth and sixth place finals between the blind football team China and Morocco. At the same time, on the CCTV app, it was shown that the game would be "live broadcast with real-time data", and the number of people who had made reservations for the game had exceeded 30,000.

Whether to spend money to watch the national football game, or to sit back and watch the live data, fans will give their answer tonight.
