SuperSport on DStv: Which Package Carries Which Channels in 2026

Vivimate is a separate IPTV subscription and doesn't carry SuperSport or DStv, so nothing on this page is something we sell. The package details come from DStv's own pages and the rights details from the leagues' own announcements, each read on November 10, 2026 and linked below. Many readers here are South Africans in the US or Canada, so we finish with what applies there.

SuperSport and DStv: who does what

SuperSport makes the sport channels; DStv sells them in packages. The PSL's rights announcement of June 3, 2026 spells out the link: in South Africa the CANAL+ Group supplies the SuperSport channels to MultiChoice (Pty) Ltd, the licence holder that provides DStv to subscribers. SuperSport's own website describes itself as sports video, fixtures, results and news, and its banners point to DStv's packages and TV guide rather than to a live stream of its own. So which SuperSport channels you get is a question about your DStv package.

SuperSport in each DStv package

DStv reshuffled its South African packages on September 17, 2026. Its article dated September 8, 2026 describes the sport in each one. Each bigger package includes the smaller ones, except DStv Movies & Series, which sits beside DStv Select rather than above DStv Sports:

DStv's package guide dated September 17, 2026 sums it up for fans: football and cricket followers choose DStv Sports, Springbok and Formula 1 followers choose DStv Premium, and viewers on a budget get key Premier League and PSL matches on DStv Starter. Two cautions. DStv says the sport kept for DStv Premium is exclusive "for now", so the split can move. And a package description isn't a fixture list: a particular match can sit on a channel your package doesn't have. Full prices are on our DStv packages and prices page and the full channel line-up on our DStv channels list.

New names on the SuperSport channel numbers

The same article renamed several SuperSport channels. The old Variety channels became SuperSport Football Plus on 206 (now home to the UEFA Champions League), KICKOFF on 207, Africa on 208 and Action on 209, which carries UFC and PFL. The former Action channel became Extra on 210, for cycling and niche sport, and Extra 2 on 217 is new. If a favourite channel seems to have vanished from your guide, check these numbers first.

Who holds the rights SuperSport shows

Two announcements from June 3, 2026 show how this works. The PSL said the CANAL+ Group had extended its agreement to show the PSL live on SuperSport, on DStv, across Sub-Saharan Africa, covering the Betway Premiership, the MTN8, the Carling Knockout Cup, the Nedbank Cup and the Motsepe Foundation Championship; the page gives no end date. The same day, SA Rugby announced a multi-year renewal keeping SuperSport and the DStv platforms the exclusive home of the Vodacom United Rugby Championship in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Both deals stop at a territory line. That is why the same match can be on SuperSport in Johannesburg and on a different service in Chicago or Toronto.

Which package fits which fan

• A PSL follower on a budget: DStv Select brings the SuperSport PSL channel; DStv Starter offers two PSL matches a week on Wethu+.
• A football and cricket household: DStv Sports, where DStv lists every Premier League, Champions League and PSL match and SuperSport Cricket.
• A rugby household: DStv Sports covers Currie Cup and club rugby with one URC match a week; Springbok tests and all SuperSport rugby need DStv Premium.
• Formula 1, golf, tennis or motorsport: DStv Premium only, per DStv. Our DStv Premium review compares its three prices.

Former Compact customers are now on DStv Sports; our page on DStv Compact vs Compact Plus explains that move.

For viewers in the US and Canada

DStv's help page on the DStv Stream app says that outside African countries with DStv "there will be no content available", because its content rights don't allow it. SuperSport through DStv is therefore an Africa-only service, and we give no advice on getting around that with a VPN or a change of location. The way to follow the same sport in North America is the broadcaster that holds it there:

• Premier League: NBC Sports in the US and Fubo in Canada for 2025/26 to 2027/28, per the league; details and kick-off times on our page about what channel the Premier League is on.
• United Rugby Championship: the URC's where-to-watch page lists FloSports for the USA. Canada isn't named; the page lists URC TV for the rest of the world. The page is undated and shows the 2026-27 season.
• PSL: we found no primary page naming a North American rights holder, so we don't name one.

Before you pay any of them, check the plan includes the competition itself, and that your line can carry it: this site's guide is about 10 Mbps for HD, 15 Mbps for Full HD and 25 Mbps for 4K per stream, as our internet speed guide explains.

Where Vivimate fits

Vivimate doesn't carry SuperSport, DStv or any of the competitions above, and we don't promise any channel, league or match. It's a prepaid IPTV subscription for US and Canadian households, with no contract and no auto-renewal; the 24-hour free trial, with no card needed, lets you search its guide yourself. The four plans: 1 Month for $19.99 ($31.98 for two devices), 3 Months for $29.99 ($47.98 for two devices), 6 Months for $39.99 ($63.98 for two devices) and 12 Months plus 2 free for $69.99 ($111.98 for two devices), as on our pricing page. A first purchase has a 7-day refund window when a service problem you report can't be fixed, per our refund policy. IPTV itself is legal technology and the seller's rights decide the rest (see is IPTV legal); we don't publish the rights agreements behind our channels. For judging any service on sport, read our guide to choosing IPTV for sports.
