The African Cup of Nations is a football competition for national teams, held under the auspices of the Confederation of African Football.

Previously, Okko had already bought the rights to show the Davis Cup, the American MMA promotion PFL, the European Figure Skating Championships, and the Biathlon World Cup. In May 2023, the online cinema received exclusive rights to broadcast the largest European basketball tournament – the Euroleague, RBC reported. It was clarified that Okko will begin broadcasting from the Euroleague Final Four of the 2022/23 season and will show matches of the tournament until the 2025/26 season inclusive.
