DStv Select customers get seven days of DStv Sports at no extra cost

Following the launch of its new package line-up on 17 September, DStv is testing a new benefit that gives qualifying customers seven days of access to the next package up, at no extra cost. 

The test begins with DStv Select customers starting from 29 September, giving customers a week of access to the new DStv Sports package. The benefit will roll out to other DStv packages, should testing be successful, by the end of the year.

What is included in the DStv Sports upgrade? 

Sports is DStv's first dedicated sport package, offering 17 channels including every match of the Premier League, UEFA Champions League and Betway Premiership, plus international cricket, UFC, WWE and local rugby. 

How does the seven-day DStv Sports upgrade work? 

Customers who pay month to month, in full and on time, automatically receive seven days' access to DStv Sports at the start of their new subscription period. No sign-up is required, and customers return to their usual package once the 7-day period ends.

DStv introduces more value for Select customers

The initiative builds on DStv's new package line-up, its biggest packaging update in 15 years. 

“We told South Africans to expect more, and we meant it," says Willington Ngwepe, CEO of MultiChoice (Pty) Ltd. “Our new packages were just the beginning. We'll continue to find ways to give customers more value from their DStv subscriptions and the customers on the Select package will be the first to enjoy this benefit, with more to come before the end of the year.”
MultiChoice (Pty) Ltd is the licensed broadcaster of DStv in South Africa.
