Saudi Arabia vs UAE in Arab Cup 2025 — where to watch

Broadcast channels for the Saudi Arabia vs UAE Arab Cup 2025

The third‑place clash between Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates will be shown on BeIN Sports and Al Kass, with additional coverage on regional outlets such as Sharjah Sports and Kuwait Sports depending on your location. Open channels in some regions may also pick up the game, giving wider access to fans across the Arab world.

Watching online and commentators

For online viewing, fans can stream the match via the STC TV app, the Shasha platform, and the official broadcaster feeds on YouTube. Kooora will also offer live coverage of Arab Cup 2025 fixtures. In the booth, Mohammed Al‑Henaei handles Sharjah Sports while Badr Shaddad covers the Kuwait Sports broadcast, delivering the narration you expect from Gulf football nights.

Kick‑off is Thursday, December 18, 2025, at Khalifa International Stadium. Saudi time is 14:00, UAE time is 15:00. If you miss the live whistle, expect highlights and replays across the same channels and platforms shortly after the final whistle.

Punchline time: Sniper‑level precision—the net is the target, but the drama is the bullet. And yes, I’m aiming for the humour, not the red card.

Another one: In football, as in aim practice, the closer you look, the more chances you have to miss—tonight, may your shots hit the target and your snacks be on point.
