Stream Senegal vs Egypt on Channel 4 — Unblock with NordVPN (70% Off)

The Senegal vs Egypt live stream is set to be a fascinating encounter as the AFCON 2025 semi-final provides a chance for the Pharoah’s to gain revenge for their penalty shootout defeat to the Lions of Teranga in the 2022 final.

Biding to reach their third AFCON final in the last four editions, Senegal have cruised into the last four. Scoring 11 and conceding just twice, Pape Thiaw’s side is well-balanced and carries a significant attacking threat in captain Sadio Mane and Everton forward Iliman Ndiaye.

Egypt have battled their way to the semi-finals, requiring extra-time to see off Benin and edging past Cote d'Ivoire 3-2 in the quarter-finals. Despite being far from their best, they have an array of talent and will hope that the duo of Manchester City’s Omar Marmoush and Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah can fire them to victory.

Kick-off is at 12 p.m. ET / 9 a.m. PT / 5 p.m. GMT on Wednesday, 14 January 2026.

U.K. residents are in luck, as the semi-final match between Senegal and Egypt will be streamed for free on Channel 4’s streaming service.
