AFA LPF Play streaming subscription transition
Overview
The Argentine Football Association (AFA) transitioned its LPF Play streaming platform from a free service to a paid subscription model in mid-October 2026. The new structure features a ‘Plan Plus’ costing 15,000 Argentine pesos per month, which provides full access to live broadcasts of the Primera Nacional, Primera B, Primera C, and the Women’s Championship, as well as match replays and press conferences.
A limited ‘Plan Base’ remains available for free, covering specific content such as Federal A, Promocional Amateur, and Women’s Futsal. The transition is part of an AFA strategy to retain television rights for lower-tier football, though the move has impacted club economics and faced criticism from fans regarding costs and previous technical issues.
Additionally, new broadcasting policies have been implemented, prohibiting media outlets from recording images from two hours before a match until one hour after its conclusion, which includes a ban on posting match action on social media.
