The FKF initially unveiled Azam Media Limited as the FKF Premier League's official broadcast partner in August 2023.

This came after a prolonged period without a broadcast partner following SuperSport’s termination of their rights deal in July 2020.

The current agreement with Azam Media is set to run for seven years, with an initial value of $1 million for the first season.

The deal includes an annual increment of $100,000 for each subsequent season.

Under the partnership, Azam TV beams four matches live each match week on both its pay and digital platforms, ensuring extensive coverage of Kenya’s top-flight football.
