FPT Play to broadcast all VBF basketball leagues for 3 years

In a significant move to elevate Vietnamese basketball, FPT Play has announced a strategic three-year partnership with the Vietnam Basketball Federation (VBF), covering the 2026-2028 seasons. This collaboration marks a new era for the sport in the country, promising enhanced organization, production, and media coverage of all VBF-sanctioned tournaments.

As the exclusive broadcast partner and media sponsor, FPT Play will bring all national basketball championships directly to fans through its multi-platform network, including IPTV, OTT, and social media channels. This ensures accessibility across various devices such as Smart TVs, smartphones, and the FPT Play Box, making it easier than ever for enthusiasts to follow their favorite teams and players.

The partnership is expected to significantly boost the visibility and professionalism of Vietnamese basketball, attracting a broader audience, particularly among the younger demographic. For the VBF, this deal not only resolves broadcasting challenges but also opens doors for diverse collaborations, helping the sport reach a wider fan base. The increased exposure for the national team is also seen as a vital step in inspiring pride and passion within the youth community.

This initiative aligns with Vietnam's broader goals of developing its sports sector and promoting national talent. The VBF's calendar for 2026 includes various tournaments, from the National Championship to youth leagues (U16, U18, U20) in both 5x5 and 3x3 formats, scheduled to take place across multiple provinces. These events are crucial for identifying and nurturing the next generation of Vietnamese basketball stars.
