CazéTV Excluded from Copa do Brasil Rights as It Sets YouTube Live Viewership Record
Brazilian YouTube channel CazéTV was not invited by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) to bid for the Copa do Brasil broadcast rights for the 2027‑2030 cycle. The CBF gave no official reason, but reports suggest the decision follows recent scrutiny of CazéTV’s promotion of betting content, which is under investigation by the Ministry of Justice and has drawn recommendations from the advertising self‑regulation council to suspend several bet ads.
During the 2026 World Cup, CazéTV broke the YouTube live‑stream record when its broadcast of the Brazil‑Japan match reached about 19.13 million simultaneous devices, surpassing its previous record of 18.3 million set during the Brazil‑Scotland game. The channel’s host Casimiro thanked viewers, noting the milestone reflects the platform’s growing role in delivering major sports events in Brazil.
