African sports fans now have more reason to celebrate as SportyTV joins the DStv and GOtv bouquets in Kenya, Nigeria, and Ghana, making live sport more accessible than ever before.
The 24/7 sports channel delivers approximately 750 live sporting events every year on DStv Access and GOtv Value, offering one of the most affordable ways to watch live sport alongside local and international entertainment, kids’ content, and streaming, all in one package.
SportyTV combines world-class football, basketball, and combat sports with nonstop news, analysis, highlights, and exclusive behind-the-scenes access. The channel adds a fresh layer of sports coverage to DStv’s existing lineup and also reaches GOtv subscribers.
“SportyTV is a strong addition to the DStv Access and GOtv Value content offering across Africa,” said David Mignot, CEO of CANAL+ Africa. “We are bringing new and exciting sports events to our customers at an accessible price point, reflecting our commitment to making quality sport available to as many fans as possible across the continent.”
Sudeep Ramnani, Founder and CEO of Sporty Group, emphasized the vision behind the partnership: “Our ambition has always been to provide a truly global sports offering for African fans, one that combines live sports action, nonstop storytelling, and unprecedented access to the world’s biggest clubs and competitions. Partnering with CANAL+ and launching on one of the continent’s leading TV and streaming providers allows us to bring that vision to millions more households across Africa.”
The channel complements SuperSport’s extensive sports content, giving viewers more choice. “SportyTV adds a fresh mix of live sport and broadens DStv’s compelling sports offering, covering an additional array of the live action loved by African sports fans,” said Rendani Ramovha, CANAL+ Director of Sport Content in English and Portuguese-speaking Africa.
Football fans can look forward to an extensive lineup featuring popular competitions, including the English Premier League, Carabao Cup, EFL Championship, and Women’s FA Cup, alongside LaLiga, the Spanish Super Cup, the Bundesliga, and the Italian Serie A.
Elias Gallego, VP of Business Development, Marketing, and Media at Sporty Group, expressed excitement about the launch: “We’re thrilled to launch SportyTV on DStv and GOtv and make watching sport more accessible than ever to fans across Africa. Through this partnership, we’re able to reach millions of viewers and deliver a wide variety of competitions and content, connecting sports fans with exciting moments from around the world.”
SportyTV also becomes home to Real Madrid TV, Arsenal TV, Chelsea TV, and Manchester City TV, offering fans unprecedented access to four of the world’s biggest clubs. Beyond elite European football, viewers can enjoy top-tier South American football through the Copa Libertadores, Argentina League, and Brazil Serie A, as well as additional coverage from the Greek League and Saudi Pro League. The channel’s offering is further complemented by world-class basketball through the NBA and a growing portfolio of international sports content.
DStv Access subscribers now get even more value, with SportyTV bolstering the lineup as a 24/7 sports channel and giving customers the chance to watch live sport that was not previously available on the package. DStv Access also includes 80+ TV channels spanning movies, series, reality shows, lifestyle, kids’ entertainment, news, and more, with additional channels being added regularly. Recent and upcoming additions include WWE, music channel Base Pulse, and from 1 July, Novelas+, featuring telenovelas from around the world. SuperSport will also launch a dedicated World Cup pop-up channel for the tournament.
Customers looking for the full SuperSport line-up, including every Premier League match, major rugby fixtures, Formula 1, and MotoGP, can upgrade to DStv Premium.
