DStv will broadcast the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in both Pidgin and English, offering fans across Nigeria a more relatable and exciting viewing experience. The dual-language coverage is designed to bring the tournament even closer to home, ensuring that football lovers can enjoy every match in the tone and style they prefer.
The announcement comes after confirmation that SuperSport, a subsidiary of MultiChoice, a Canal+ Company, has secured the broadcast rights for the highly anticipated tournament, which kicks off in Morocco on December 21, 2025.
MultiChoice’s decision to continue offering commentary in local languages, especially Pidgin, is seen as a major win for viewers. This linguistic inclusion is part of a broader strategy to connect more deeply with the diverse African audience.
Subscribers will be able to watch all matches live on DStv and stream on the DStv app, with both language options available throughout the tournament, ensuring they don’t miss a moment of the action. You can also switch between the English and Pidgin audio feeds using their remote controls.
The tournament runs from December 21, 2025, to January 18, 2026. Fans are encouraged to upgrade their DStv or GOtv subscriptions to ensure access to all the live matches and expert studio analysis.
