Mumbai: As the FIFA World Cup 2026 continues to capture audiences worldwide, Zee 5 has announced the onboarding of Indian football legend Sunil Chhetri as part of its expert panel, further strengthening its football coverage for viewers across India.

Through comprehensive tournament coverage featuring live streaming, expert analysis, match highlights and exclusive programming, Zee 5 aims to deliver an immersive viewing experience around football’s biggest global event.

As part of the platform’s FIFA World Cup programming, Chhetri will appear as a pre-show expert, offering audiences tactical insights and player perspectives shaped by his distinguished football career.

Widely recognised as one of Indian football’s greatest icons, Chhetri remains the country’s all-time leading goalscorer and most-capped men’s footballer. With 95 international goals, he ranks among the highest goalscorers in the history of men’s international football. Across a career spanning more than two decades, he has played a defining role in raising the profile of Indian football and inspiring generations of players and fans.

Known for his leadership, longevity and consistency, Chhetri has become one of India’s most influential sporting personalities and a key figure in the growth of football in the country.

With his extensive understanding of the game, Chhetri is expected to provide viewers with expert commentary on tactical approaches, standout performances, emerging narratives and defining moments of the tournament.

He joins Zee 5’s existing football expert panel featuring Bhaichung Bhutia, Gurpreet Singh Sandhu and Igor Stimac, among others, bringing together global and Indian football perspectives to enhance coverage of the FIFA World Cup 2026.

Speaking about his association with Zee 5 and FIFA World Cup 2026, Sunil Chhetri said, “The FIFA World Cup is where football’s greatest stories unfold, and I’m excited to join Zee 5’s expert panel for this incredible tournament. Every World Cup creates moments that stay with fans forever, from legendary players continuing to build their legacy to emerging stars and nations striving to make history on the biggest stage. As someone who has spent my life playing and studying the game, I look forward to sharing my insights with fans, discussing the tactical battles, standout performers and unforgettable moments that make this tournament so special.”

Zee 5’s World Cup coverage extends beyond match broadcasts and analysis to create a richer football experience through expert discussions, commentary and exclusive insights designed to engage both long-time football followers and new audiences discovering the tournament.

With the group stage approaching its final stretch, the tournament is entering an increasingly decisive phase, where every match carries greater significance and teams compete for football’s biggest prize.

Football fans can watch Sunil Chhetri and the expert panel exclusively on Zee 5 through pre-match analysis, live commentary, post-match reactions and tournament insights throughout the FIFA World Cup 2026.
