MultiChoice has introduced a new 24-hour sports channel called SportyTV, available on selected DStv and GOtv packages. This channel will provide subscribers with access to a variety of live sports, including football, basketball, and combat sports, as well as news and analysis.

DStv is set to broadcast the 2026 FIFA World Cup Round of 16 matches this weekend, providing football fans with live coverage of the games. The service emphasizes its commitment to delivering every moment of the action directly to viewers' homes, aligning with its slogan, "Everything Can Wait," to encourage fans to tune in for the matches.

Starting June 2026, new Samsung Smart TVs sold in Uganda will feature the DStv Stream app pre-installed, as part of an expanded partnership between Samsung Electronics and Canal+, the parent company of MultiChoice Group. This initiative also applies to 18 other African countries where MultiChoice operates, enhancing access to streaming services for users in the region.

The National Communications Commission (NCC) and the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) are intensifying their enforcement regarding changes in telecom ownership in Nigeria. This development is part of a broader discussion that includes topics such as Spiro's $55 million investment in electric vehicles, potential US-Iran peace talks that may affect MTN's frozen assets, and the preloading of DStv Stream on Samsung TVs.

As the 2026 FIFA World Cup group stages near their conclusion, DStv is set to provide live coverage of the key matches, offering football fans an immersive viewing experience from home. The network aims to enhance the excitement of the tournament for its audience, showcasing the final group stage action.

Canal+ has announced that MultiChoice's DStv streaming app will be pre-installed on the home screen of new Samsung TVs sold across Africa. This initiative aims to enhance accessibility to DStv's streaming services for users in the region.
