Sports enthusiasts in Nigeria and across the West Africa sub-region are in for the best of their passion as MultiChoice Group, a Canal+ Company, has introduced its most significant update in years, bringing more of Africa’s greatest football, entertainment and new era options to its subscribers.

Under the new structure, DStv packages will comprise Starter, Select, Sports and Premium, while GOtv customers can choose from Easy, Starter, Select and Sports. The new package line-up is designed around how customers watch today, with clearer choices, more accessible content and greater value across the portfolio.

Announcing the new deals at its Tiamiyu Savage, Victoria Island, Lagos office, yesterday, Multichoice said the new packages took into cognisance the existing economic realities to make its bouquets affordable to its viewers.

Speaking on the new packages scheduled to start on November 5, 2026, CEO, MultiChoice Nigeria, Kemi Omotosho, said: “For us, sports is one of our hero packages; Nigerians love EPL, Laliga, Serie A and others; so, we are giving all the leagues in one package. The focus is on giving subscribers better value and access to the entertainment they love.

“The strength of our platform is the combination of African entertainment, leading international content and unrivalled live sports in one place. We’ve reimagined our packages to better reflect how customers watch today, with tailored options specifically for general entertainment and sports fans.”

“For the first time, some of DStv’s biggest channels will be available at significantly more accessible price points. Starter is the entry-level entertainment package featuring two brand-new channels: SuperSport Kickoff, which brings the Premier League Match of the Week and selected football from the UEFA Champions League; and Africa Magic+, which offers premium local and international series plus more.

“Subscribers will enjoy all movie channels, local and international series, a selection of top football and other sports, as well as the complete kids’ channel offering.

She said that “sports is the first package built specifically for football fans, customers will also benefit from MultiChoice’s refreshed package line-up, with new GOtv packages launching alongside the new DStv offering on November 5, 2026. Built around the same principles of greater value, simpler choice and access to more of the entertainment customers’ love, the new GOtv packages will provide an enhanced viewing experience tailored to local audiences.
