The 2026/27 Liga Super season begins on 21 August 2026, and the first question most Malaysian supporters ask is a practical one: where do I actually watch it? This guide covers the official broadcast arrangements and the ways to follow matches when you are not in front of a television.
Astro holds the Liga Malaysia rights
Astro is the official broadcaster of Liga Malaysia, having renewed its rights agreement for a further three years. This is the third consecutive season under the current partnership, and coverage spans both traditional television and streaming.
Which channels show Liga Super?
- Astro Arena Bola — channel 803
- Astro Arena Bola 2 — channel 804
Matches are broadcast live in high definition. Across a full season the broadcaster shows in the region of 228 live matches, which in practice means the overwhelming majority of Super League fixtures are televised rather than a selected few.
Streaming: sooka and Astro GO
For viewers who prefer to watch on a phone, tablet or laptop, Liga Malaysia is available on sooka, Astro's streaming platform, and on Astro GO for existing subscribers. This matters for a competition where a meaningful share of the audience follows matches while out of the house, or in a household where the main television is occupied.
Why the audience is growing
Liga Malaysia viewership has increased by more than 20% across the two most recent seasons, totalling close to 24 million views. That growth runs against the assumption that Malaysian supporters care only about European football, and it is part of the reason the broadcast package has expanded rather than shrunk.
The 2026/27 expansion to 14 clubs adds further fixtures to the calendar, which in turn means more televised football across the season.
Following matches without watching
Television coverage is extensive, but no supporter watches every match. For everything else, live scores are the practical alternative.
TaxiSports carries live Liga Super scores as matches are played, with all times shown in Malaysian time so there is no mental conversion. You can check upcoming fixtures to plan your week, review recent results, and follow the title race on the league table.
To be clear about what we do: TaxiSports does not host or stream video. We are a match centre — scores, fixtures, results, standings and match data. For live video, the official broadcast routes above are the ones to use.
Kick-off times and scheduling
Liga Super matchdays are typically spread across three days. The opening round of 2026/27 runs from 21 to 23 August. Spreading fixtures avoids clashes between televised matches and gives the broadcaster a fuller weekend schedule.
Kick-off times are set by the Malaysian Football League and can be adjusted, sometimes at relatively short notice, for broadcast or logistical reasons. Our fixtures page reflects the current confirmed times rather than a fixed list published once at the start of the season.

If you do not subscribe to Astro
Not every supporter has an Astro subscription, and the honest answer is that the official live broadcast in Malaysia runs through Astro's platforms. sooka is the route worth checking first for anyone who wants streaming without a full television package, since it is Astro's own streaming service rather than a third-party reseller.
Be cautious with unofficial streams. Beyond the legal position, they are a common vector for malware and payment fraud, and the streams themselves are typically unreliable at exactly the moments that matter. If you cannot watch a match live, following ball-by-ball scores is a more dependable option than an unreliable feed.
Understanding kick-off times
Liga Super matchdays are usually distributed across three days rather than concentrated on a single afternoon. The opening round of 2026/27 runs from Friday 21 August to Sunday 23 August.
Evening kick-offs are common in Malaysian domestic football, which reflects both the climate and the broadcast schedule. All times on TaxiSports are displayed in Malaysian time, so there is nothing to convert.
Times can move. The Malaysian Football League adjusts kick-offs for broadcast, venue and logistical reasons, sometimes close to the fixture date. Checking the fixtures page on the day remains more reliable than working from a schedule published weeks earlier.
Following matches on the move
For matches you cannot watch, our Liga Super match centre carries live scores as they happen, alongside the current standings so you can see immediately what a result means for the table. After full time, results are available with the final scores for every fixture in the round.
