contents We compute the full-sky angular power spectrum and bispectrum, along with their Fisher matrices, to forecast constraints on cosmological parameters for the BINGO and SKA1-MID Band 2 radio telescopes. This represents the first forecast analysis using the full-sky relativistic bispectrum in redshift space for these surveys. Our results show that the second-order velocity contribution, often neglected under the Limber approximation, accounts for approximately $24\%$ of the total signal at low redshifts, indicating that it must be included for accurate modeling. Using these forecasts, we find that while the bispectrum provides constraints comparable to the angular power spectrum for $Λ$CDM and ${\rm w}$CDM models, it becomes a powerful probe of dynamical dark energy. Restricting the analysis to linear scales, we show that the inclusion of the bispectrum yields a substantial improvement in the determination of the Chevallier-Polarski-Linder (CPL) parameters. In particular, the joint analysis of the bispectrum, power spectrum, and Planck CMB data improves constraints on ${\rm w}_0$ and ${\rm w}_a$ by over $70\%$, and the Hubble parameter $h$ by approximately $60\%$. These results underscore the importance of relativistic bispectrum for breaking parameter degeneracies and probing the nature of dark energy with upcoming large-scale structure surveys.
