In soccer-crazy Brazil, streaming upstart pulls World Cup viewers from TV to YouTube

This article discusses the shift in how Brazilian audiences consume World Cup football content, highlighting the growing influence of streaming services over traditional television. While traditional TV giant Globo remains the dominant broadcaster, reaching 86% of the tournament’s audience, a new streaming service called CazeTV, based on YouTube, is gaining traction by offering all 104 matches for free. Founded by streamer Casimiro Miguel, CazeTV has attracted significant attention, peaking at 21.3 million simultaneous viewers during a match between Brazil and Japan. The service is part of a broader trend toward streaming, driven by changing viewer habits, particularly among younger audiences. However, CazeTV's integration of sports betting into its broadcasts has drawn criticism, especially in a country where gambling addiction is a growing societal concern.
