As the 2026 FIFA World Cup concluded, Televisi Republik Indonesia (TVRI) reflected on the success of its nationwide coverage, which brought one of the world’s biggest sporting events to millions of viewers across Indonesia through free-to-air television. Throughout the tournament, the public broadcaster delivered extensive live coverage, ensuring audiences from urban centres to remote communities were able to follow the matches without subscription barriers.

TVRI’s coverage was recognised by the Jakarta Provincial Government for creating a shared national viewing experience while generating positive social and economic impact. Public viewing events organised in collaboration with local authorities drew thousands of football fans, encouraging community engagement and supporting local businesses, including food vendors and small enterprises operating around the event venues.

The broadcaster’s comprehensive production and transmission capabilities demonstrated its ability to deliver high-quality live coverage on a national scale while fulfilling its public service broadcasting mandate. Beyond showcasing world-class football, the broadcasts strengthened TVRI’s role in connecting communities through accessible programming and reaffirmed the importance of public broadcasters in ensuring major international events remain available to audiences across the country.

Reflecting on the tournament’s success, TVRI highlighted its commitment to continuing to deliver high-quality national and international sporting events while strengthening public access to informative and inclusive programming. The achievement further reinforces the broadcaster’s role as Indonesia’s trusted public service media organisation, capable of uniting audiences through shared national viewing experiences.
