Al Ahli Saudi has secured the rights to broadcast their AFC Champions League Elite 2025-2026 matches exclusively through beIN Sports Qatar, according to verified tournament sources. The network will carry all of the Saudi club’s fixtures in the continental competition.

The defending champions begin their title defense campaign on April 17, 2026, facing Johor Darul Ta’zon in the quarter-finals at 17:45 local Saudi time (18:45 UAE). Al Ahli enters the tournament riding high after capturing the inaugural AFC Champions League Elite title last season and following it up with a Saudi Super Cup triumph to start the current campaign.

Al Ahli’s group stage fixtures in the 2025-2026 edition see them drawn against Nasaf Karshi, Al-Duhail, Al-Gharafa, Al-Sadd, Al-Shurtta, Al-Wahda, and finally Al-Ahli Dubai. The Saudi giants will look to build on their historic first continental crown as they navigate eight group matches before the knockout rounds.

In recent action, Al Ahli suffered a 1-2 defeat to Vissel Kobe in the semi-finals on April 20, 2026, with kickoff at 19:15 Saudi time (20:15 UAE). Earlier, they fell 1-2 to Johor Darul Ta’zon in the quarter-finals on April 17, 2026, ending their bid for back-to-back titles.

The club’s matches will be available for live streaming internationally via the TOD TV application, providing global fans access to Al Ahli’s pursuit of continental glory.
