The 2026 U23 Asian Cup will be the first major tournament broadcast on TV360 after this platform announced the copyright package for AFC tournaments in the period 2026-2029.

The tournament officially kicked off on January 6, opening up clear competition opportunities for U23 Vietnam with core forces such as Dinh Bac, Van Khang. Besides the host U23 Saudi Arabia, the remaining opponents such as U23 Jordan or Kyrgyzstan are all considered "one-on-one", creating a premise for U23 Vietnam to aim for the goal of going deep with bravery, organization of competition and confidence.
