Big Blue Marble has reported a new peak of more than 10 Tbps delivered through Amazon CloudFront for an unnamed European public service broadcaster during one of the highest-demand matches of the 2026 football tournament. The CloudFront capacity operated as part of the broadcaster's wider national and regional multi-CDN platform.
The service model combined delivery capacity with engineers on duty for every match and continuous contact with the broadcaster's operations team. Big Blue Marble says its staff identified and resolved irregularities before they affected the broadcaster or viewers, while AWS Countdown Premium added engineering support for business-critical fixtures.
The figure is technically relevant because multi-terabit peaks test more than raw CDN capacity. Traffic steering, origin protection, monitoring, incident escalation and communication between delivery vendors all need to operate under rapidly changing demand. The companies say lessons from Euro 2024 and the 2024 Olympic Games informed the World Cup runbook.
The 10 Tbps claim comes from Big Blue Marble and has not been independently audited in the source. The broadcaster, match, audience size, traffic share handled by other CDNs and viewer-experience metrics were not disclosed, so the report confirms vendor-observed scale but not the complete end-to-end performance of the service.
