Multichoice Africa has announced that DSTV and SuperSport Channel on GOtv will not broadcast the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2023 which is scheduled for January 13th and February 11th, 2024.

In a statement, the South African Broadcasting Company said the reason is that the channel has not secured the rights to broadcast the tournament.

This is the 34th Edition of the Confederation of African Football, AFCON and will be held in Côte d’Ivoire

It was however stated that the games would be broadcasted through their partner broadcast stations on Free to Air (FTA) channels.

The statement reads “SuperSport Channel will not broadcast the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2023 scheduled for January 13th and February 11th, 2024, because the channel has not secured the rights to broadcast the tournament.

“However, AFCON 2023 games will be available through our partner broadcast stations on Free to Air (FTA) channels. Multichoice Africa remains committed to ensuring football fans across Africa continue to enjoy unrivaled access to entertainment and football games available on DStv and GOtv platforms including, the Premier League, LaLiga, Serie A, Zambian Super League, and many more of football’s most prestigious competitions.”
