Fortunately, audiences across the world can tune into the action, with matches being broadcast in the United Kingdom as well.

Who won the most recent AFCON?
Senegal enter this year's AFCON as current holders, lifting the trophy back in 2022. Mane's side won the tournament up against Salah's Egypt, beating the Pharaohs on penalties after a goalless 120 minutes at the Olembe Stadium in Yaounde, Cameroon.
Despite their recent final defeat, Egypt remain the record holders at AFCON, having won the competition seven times - most recently in 2010.
