According to a statement from FPT Play, Premier League fans in Vietnam will continue to watch nearly 200 matches for the remainder of the 2025-2026 season and about 1,900 matches in the next five seasons, from 2026-2027 to 2030-2031. The matches are expected to be broadcast on multiple platforms, with Vietnamese commentary.

FPT Play said the deal was made through cooperation with Jasmine International Public Company Limited (JAS) and Monomax - the copyright owners of the English Premier League in the markets of Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. This is the content stated by FPT Play in a press release sent to the media.

Enhancing the football viewing experience of Vietnamese audiences

Sharing with the press, Mr. Hoang Viet Anh - Chairman of the Board of Directors of FPT Telecom - said: "The Premier League is one of the few football tournaments that has been present very early and has a great influence in Vietnam. With the advantage of broadcasting infrastructure and technology platform, FPT Play aims to improve the football viewing experience of domestic audiences."

Notably, FPT Play's ownership of the Premier League copyright was announced in the context of Chelsea FC establishing a global partnership with FPT Group in April 2025.

In addition to broadcasting matches, FPT Play is planning to deploy additional features such as personalizing the viewer experience, displaying favorite club badges, and some quick review features of in-match situations.
