DStv has seemingly confirmed that it will roll out a major new package structure this month. This includes a new sports package, priced at R399 a month.
The pay-per-view company was recently acquired by French media company Canal+, which took control of MultiChoice, the South African group behind DStv, SuperSport and M-Net.

During the broadcast of the Springboks vs All Blacks match on DStv’s SuperSport channel, a group of spectators at the FNB Stadium held up placards that read: “Rumours are true. 17 September 2026”
The scenes were interpreted as confirmation that an announcement about a new package structure was imminent.
