True Visions is giving Thai football fans free access to the 2026 AFC Asian Cup final through its True Visions Now app. On August 20 at True Tower, Ongaaj Praphakamol, head of True Visions and Media at CP True Operation Company Limited, announced that Thai fans will be able to watch the final for free through the True Visions Now application.

Ongaaj explained that CP Group and True Visions have consistently worked to bring quality content to Thai audiences, especially when Thailand's national team competes in major tournaments such as the Asian Games or AFC Asian Cup. He noted that the Football Association of Thailand and the Sports Minister had discussed ways to make the final accessible to Thai viewers. Rather than having state agencies purchase broadcast rights, the CP Group leadership decided that True Visions should stream the final free through the True Visions Now app, with True and the CP Group funding the cost themselves.

Ongaaj acknowledged that free broadcasting would impact True Visions' revenue but said the company found greater value in supporting Thai nationals to unite behind their team in pursuit of the Asian championship. For existing True Visions Now football package subscribers, the company will compensate them with one additional free month of service, as True Visions broadcasts not only the Asian Cup but also other sports including UEFA Champions League.

The AFC Asian Cup final will be contested over two legs: the first match on August 22 at Rajamangala Stadium with Thailand facing Vietnam, and the second on August 26 at Dinh Stadium with Vietnam hosting Thailand. Both matches will kick off at 8:00 p.m.
