CazéTV Shatters YouTube Live Records During 2026 World Cup

CazéTV, the YouTube channel run by Casimiro Miguel, broadcast every one of the 104 matches of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, securing exclusive rights to more than half of the tournament’s games. The channel set a new global live‑stream record with 21 million devices simultaneously watching Brazil’s win over Japan, and accumulated over 100 million unique device views across the competition – roughly half of Brazil’s population.

The platform’s audience grew 66 % during the group stage, topping the 14 biggest live YouTube streams ever recorded, all from the World Cup. CazéTV’s success prompted a partnership with Grupo Coruja, placing real‑time scores and video clips on digital panels throughout Rio de Janeiro, reaching an estimated 20.8 million contacts during the Brazil‑Haiti match.

Traditional broadcasters Globo and SBT split the remaining rights, but CazéTV’s all‑match coverage and digital reach have shifted viewership away from open‑air TV, marking a significant change in how Brazilian fans consume the tournament.
