Canal+ has acquired exclusive rights to six Senegalese wrestling events for the 2026–2027 season across more than 40 territories in sub-Saharan Africa.

The agreement with audiovisual production company BEUZ PRO covers French-speaking, English-speaking and Portuguese-speaking markets. Live coverage will air in French and Wolof on Canal+ Sport channels, with English-language coverage on SuperSport.

The schedule opens on 29 November with The Verdict, featuring Ada Fass against Balla Gaye 2. Further events include The Royal Clash on 3 January, with Sa Thiès facing Siteu, and The Fight of the Millennium on 7 February, featuring Franc against Reug Reug.

The Independence Derby on 4 April will feature Ama Baldé against Lac de Guiers 2 and Eumeu Sène against Jackson. Two further events are planned for June and July, with details still to be announced.

The events are organised by Al Bourakh Events and Jambaar Productions, with BEUZ PRO handling production.

Ibrahima Faye, CEO of BEUZ PRO, said: “Together with CANAL+ and our promoter partners, we are giving our sport the visibility it has long deserved across Sub-Saharan Africa.”

David Mignot, CEO of Canal+ Africa, said the agreement followed coverage of The Royal Clash on Canal+ Sport 1 in April and formed part of the group’s plans to expand its African content portfolio.

Financial terms were not disclosed.
