Live sport will be more accessible than ever as SportyTV is added to DStv and GOtv bouquets in Kenya as well as Nigeria and Ghana. The 24/7 sports channel will deliver around 750 live sporting events every year on DStv Access and GOtv Value, 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 new layer of sports coverage to DStv’s existing sports lineup and will also be available on GOtv.
“SportyTV is a strong addition to the DStv Access and GOtv Value content offering across Africa. 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,” said David Mignot, CEO of CANAL+ Africa.
Sudeep Ramnani, Founder and CEO of Sporty Group, said: “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 SportyTV channel gives DStv and GOtv viewers more choice, complementing SuperSport’s wide variety of sports content,” said Rendani Ramovha, CANAL+ Director of Sport Content in English and Portuguese-speaking Africa. “It 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.”

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 line-up 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, will need to upgrade to DStv Premium.
