- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
Cameroon and Malawi will compete for the title of the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations in a final scheduled for Sunday, August 16, in Rabat. Both nations are seeking their first continental crown. Cameroon advanced to the final after defeating the host nation, Morocco, in a penalty shootout following a 0-0 draw after 120 minutes. Malawi reached its first ever continental final by defeating Algeria 3-1, with Tabitha Chawinga scoring two goals. By reaching the semifinals, both finalists and the third place contenders, Algeria and Morocco, have secured qualification for the 2027 Women's World Cup in Brazil. Teams eliminated in the quarterfinals, including Nigeria, South Africa, Ghana, and Costa de Marfil, remain eligible for an additional spot via a continental playoff starting Thursday in Casablanca.
