DStv is introducing new packages in Ghana from 5 November 2026. The changes include new package names, revised channel lineups, a Sports package and updated pricing. Here’s everything you need to know about the new DStv packages.
New DStv packages explained
You’ve asked and DStv is listening. The new packages are simpler, clearer and offer more of what you want: more sport, more channels and fewer repeats.
The four core packages are designed to make great content more accessible. In Ghana, there are:
| Package | Channels | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | 90+ | GHS50 PM |
| Select | 123+ | GHS100 PM |
| Sports | 132+ | GHS250 PM |
| Ultimate | 153+ | GHS570 PM |
For the first time, DStv has a Sports package that brings you the best in top-flight football as well as plenty of local and international entertainment to keep the whole family busy.
The package also offers every channel that’s available to Select and Starter subscribers. From there, Sports adds every match of the Premier League, Champions League and combat sports (UFC/EFC), and more.
Why are DStv packages changing?
We’re making the packages simpler and easier for our customers to understand. We’re strengthening our channel lineup, giving customers more value and fresher content. It’s the first step in a wider effort to make DStv even better for customers.
What's changing for me?
From 5 November, DStv customers are being migrated to new packages, and the new packages will be available to new subscribers. The migration is being implemented in phases, and even if your account shows your old package name, you’ll still receive any new channels.
