CONMEBOL alters Brazilian broadcasts after betting advertising ban
By The Weekly Edge desk ·
Summary
CONMEBOL is using virtual overlays to replace betting adverts in broadcasts for Brazilian viewers after Brazil’s Provisional Measure 1.394/2026 barred betting operations and advertising, Focus Gaming News reported. The outlet said Sportingbet’s exclusive sponsorship contract for the Copa Libertadores in Brazil is inactive, while the measure’s effect on foreign clubs’ shirts, including Boca Juniors’ Betsson-branded shirt, remains unresolved. The agreements’ future depends on legal definitions and the Brazilian Congress’s decision.
Why it matters
Virtual overlays and inactive sponsorship terms leave partners facing uncertainty over how betting brands can appear in Brazil.
