Here’s the latest on DSTV access to World Cup matches:
DSTV and SuperSport have expanded access so that all 104 FIFA World Cup 2026 matches will be available live to subscribers across most DSTV packages, including the lowest tier (DStv Access). This marks a historic move to broaden accessibility for African viewers, with live games, highlights, and repeats available on all packages from Access to Premium.

Highlights and replays are included, and DSTV is focusing on reducing barriers to access by offering the full slate on both traditional satellite TV and its streaming options (DStv Stream and GOtv where available). This ensures fans can catch games even if they miss live broadcasts.
The change follows ongoing rights strategy under Canal+/MultiChoice, with communications noting tailored broadcast features and potential language considerations for audiences in Africa. This aligns with broader regional aims to make World Cup content more accessible than previous editions.
