Singapore – Singlife has signed on as a main sponsor of Mediacorp’s broadcast of the FIFA World Cup 2026 in Singapore, aligning the homegrown financial services company with one of the world’s most-watched sporting events.

The sponsorship will run throughout the tournament from 12 June to 20 July, with Singlife’s new television commercial, The Finals, airing during both live and repeat match broadcasts on Mediacorp’s digital streaming platform mewatch and Channel 5.

The campaign draws parallels between football and life, focusing on the unexpected twists, challenges and decisions people face. Through the lens of financial planning and long-term care protection, the advert encourages Singaporeans to prepare for uncertainty and avoid being “caught off guard”.

According to Singlife, the partnership reflects its broader commitment to supporting sports as a way of bringing communities together and inspiring resilience.

Debra Soon, Group Head of Brand, Communications, Marketing, and Experience at Singlife, said football remains one of the most popular sports among Singaporeans, making the FIFA World Cup an opportunity to connect with audiences through a shared national passion.

As the official rights holder in Singapore, Mediacorp will provide coverage of all 104 matches across its platforms.

This year’s tournament marks the largest edition of the competition to date, featuring 48 national teams competing across host nations Canada, Mexico, and the United States.

Mediacorp will also expand its free-to-air offering from nine matches during the previous tournament to 28 matches this year, available via Channel 5 and mewatch.

Beyond football, Singlife continues to invest in local sports development through partnerships with organizations including Netball Singapore and Wheelchair Rugby Association Singapore.

The company recently renewed its support for Singapore’s national netball team and remains title sponsor of competitions such as the Singlife National League and Singlife Nations Cup.
