How to watch Benin vs Senegal: Live streams, TV channels as chasers target an upset in AFCON 2025 Group D

Watch Benin vs Senegal at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations today, as FourFourTwo brings you a comprehensive guide on live streams and TV coverage wherever you are in the world.

Group D contenders have an AFCON 2025 victory on their record and that's a very solid foothold after two games in a 24-team tournament.

Beating Botswana 1-0 isn't enough to inspire confidence in Gernot Rohr's Cheetahs but it gives them hope as they prepare for their toughest Group D assignment.

Having won once by a goal and lost once by a goal, they'd benefit hugely from a result against group leaders Senegal.

A win would take them through. A draw would almost certainly do the same. They might not even need that, but leaving one's fate in the hands of another is seldom a wise choice.

Read on as FourFourTwo brings you all the information on how to watch Benin vs Senegal online, on TV, and from anywhere.

Benin vs Senegal: Preview

Senegal are the group favourites but they're not yet over the line either. They dismantled Botswana in their first game but a draw with DR Congo means that various round of 16 outcomes are possible.

Unless, that is, they take matters into their own hands with a win against Benin in Rabat in their final game of the group stage.

If Senegal and DR Congo both win, goal difference will come into play. Senegal have the advantage in that regard as it stands.

The Group D winners will meet a third-placed qualifier at the start of the Tangier route to the final early next month.

The group runners-up will play the winners of Group E on the way to a potential clash with Nigeria in the quarter-finals.

Nicolas Jackson and Sadio Mane have both scored in this Africa Cup of Nations already, the on-loan Bayern Munich man bagging twice in the opening game.

Mane's equaliser against DR Congo could prove vital in terms of Senegal's progress through the tournament. Without it DRC would have the head-to-head advantage, not to mention the additional points.

Benin's win was against a Botswana side that looks destined to finish without a point. The challenge for Senegal in their final game might be a matter of holding their nerve.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Benin 0-2 Senegal

In a tournament lacking upsets, you won't find us counting Senegal out of a game any time soon.
