The Chinese state broadcaster suspended coverage following Mbappé’s comments about a ‘meme’ comparing him to Mao.
Sunday’s and Monday’s league matches are also missing from CCTV’s schedule, according to EFE. Previous matchdays are still available on its app, with the most recent being Celta-Betis on October 25.
Migu, LaLiga’s exclusive digital partner in China until 2029/30, kept almost all of its scheduled coverage. Only Racing de Santander-Real Madrid is missing, according to EFE.
It is worth noting that Migu does not show Real Madrid’s matches from August and September, EFE confirmed. CCTV lists none from this season or from 2025/26.
Mbappé apologized and LaLiga sent a letter to CMG, which oversees CCTV, but the corporation has not clarified whether that apology is enough or when broadcasts will resume.
