VTV holds the broadcast rights for the 2026 Gia Lai VTV Cup, according to Thanh Nien, which lists VTV5, VTV6 and the VTVgo application as viewing outlets.

The November friendly tournament in Pleiku will bring together Vietnam, Thailand, Qatar and Singapore at U23 level. Match-specific listings remain the practical reference for viewers as the event approaches.

A new preparation cycle

Thanh Nien reports that Dinh Hong Vinh will continue to lead the side under responsibilities assigned by Kim Sang-sik.

The preparation focuses on players born in 2005 or later as Vietnam develop the group for future youth competitions. Names discussed in that transition include Nguyen Hoang, Van Binh, Quang Kiet, Quang Vinh, Van Thuan and Le Phat.

Born in 2007, Le Phat has drawn attention through goals in the current V-League campaign. Senior club experience provides useful context as the coaching staff assess the next group of players.

Different tests in Pleiku

Thailand offer a regional challenge, Qatar bring a West Asian opponent and Singapore complete the four-team field. The matches will give the hosts opportunities to test combinations against different styles.

The source also describes a potential prize of 100,000 dollars, approximately 2.6 billion dong, linked to the team's performance. It is a prospective reward rather than money already won.

The broader preparation targets include the 2027 SEA Games in Malaysia and qualification for the 2028 AFC U23 competition. For supporters, the newly reported broadcast rights clarify the domestic viewing options, while the final television schedule will determine where individual matches appear.
