Every Budget Energy SuperCupNI match to be streamed live worldwide

Every match of the 2026 Budget Energy SuperCupNI will once again be streamed live worldwide after the tournament confirmed the return of full live coverage in partnership with official broadcast partner 247.tv.

More than 150 fixtures featuring over 60 Boys’ and Girls’ teams from across the UK, Ireland, Europe, North America and beyond will be available live through www.supercupni.tv.

Families, friends, coaches, scouts and football supporters around the world will once again be able to follow every moment of one of the world’s premier international youth football tournaments, wherever they are.

From the opening group stage fixtures on Monday 27th July through to all five Cup Finals, every match will be broadcast live and available on demand.

The 2026 Budget Energy SuperCupNI will once again welcome some of the biggest names in world football to Northern Ireland, with elite academies including Manchester United, Liverpool, Rangers, Celtic, Tottenham Hotspur, Southampton, Sunderland, Leeds United and West Ham United among those confirmed to compete alongside leading County representative teams and international opposition.

Sam Gamble, Tournament Co-ordinator of the Budget Energy SuperCupNI, said

“One of the things that has always made the Budget Energy SuperCupNI special is its international reach. Every summer we welcome teams from across the world, but we know not everyone can make the journey to Northern Ireland.

“The continued support of 247.tv means families, friends, coaches, scouts and football supporters everywhere can still experience the tournament as it happens, no matter where they are in the world. That’s hugely important to us and to the players taking part.

“247.tv has become an integral part of the tournament. The quality of its coverage showcases every team, every player and every venue to a worldwide audience while creating real value for our partners by extending their reach far beyond tournament week.

“We’re proud to continue building our partnership with 247.tv and look forward to bringing another outstanding week of international youth football to audiences across the globe.”

Building on the success of last year’s full tournament coverage, 247.tv will once again broadcast every Budget Energy SuperCupNI fixture using professional production teams, multiple camera angles, live graphics, expert commentary and full match replays, bringing every moment of the tournament to audiences around the world.

Adrian Battersby, Head of Production at 247.tv, said:

“We were incredibly proud of the coverage we delivered during last year’s Budget Energy SuperCupNI and the feedback we received from clubs, families and supporters across the world was overwhelmingly positive.

“That success has only raised the bar for this summer. We’ve invested further in our production and assembled an experienced broadcast team to ensure every fixture receives the same level of attention, from the opening group games right through to the Cup Finals.

“The Budget Energy SuperCupNI deserves that investment. It’s one of the most prestigious youth football tournaments in the world, and our aim is to produce coverage that reflects the quality of the football, the professionalism of the tournament and the experience of everyone watching at home.

“Whether it’s a parent following their child from overseas, a scout identifying emerging talent or a supporter watching from home, we want every viewer to feel connected to the tournament from the first whistle to the last.”

Now entering its 43rd year, the Budget Energy SuperCupNI remains one of the world’s premier international youth football tournaments and continues to provide a globally recognised platform for the next generation of elite talent.

Taking place from Sunday 26th to Friday 31st July, the tournament will welcome more than 60 Boys’ and Girls’ teams from across the globe, with over 1,200 players competing in more than 150 matches across five age groups.

Matches will be played across Causeway Coast and Glens, Antrim and Newtownabbey, and Mid and East Antrim, with the Girls’ Section Cup Finals taking place at Dixon Park, Ballyclare on Thursday 30th July before the Boys’ Minor, Junior and Premier Cup Finals return to The Coleraine Showgrounds on Friday 31st July.
