China Media Group, the country's state broadcaster, has removed La Liga matches from its schedules following a joke involving Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé. The broadcaster acknowledged Mbappé's subsequent apology but has not indicated how long the blackout will last.
The decision was reported by the BBC on November 2, 2026, citing the broadcaster's response to the incident. China Media Group has not provided a timeline for the restoration of La Liga coverage.
