The lineup is led by two major documentary series of their kind, through which the channel aims to take viewers from the spirit of football history to the behind-the-scenes preparations for the largest edition in World Cup history.

A journey between present and history: “The Contenders” and “The Football Greatest” Roya TV opens its World Cup coverage through “The Contenders,” a 40-episode documentary series that carefully explores the profiles of the 48 participating nations.

National and competitive coverage: “The Dream Comes True,” “Roya World Cup,” and “The Stand” In addition to international documentaries, Roya TV enhances its content with interactive and national programs starting with the innovative competition show “Roya World Cup,” airing every Thursday at 8:30 PM, placing participants in a competitive atmosphere that simulates the global tournament system.

On Friday evenings, viewers will be tuned into “The Dream Comes True” at 8:30 PM, documenting the historic journey of the Jordanian national team “Al Nashama” toward the World Cup and the stories of the heroes who made the dream a reality. The evening concludes every Friday at 9:00 PM with a special edition of “The Stand,” which focuses on analyzing teams and audience engagement with the global event.

With this programming package, Roya TV confirms its commitment to meeting audience expectations by delivering an unprecedented viewing experience that combines excitement, analysis, and documentation—placing viewers at the heart of the biggest football event.
