Football fans in Nigeria are set for a more inclusive viewing experience as DStv announces that the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) will be broadcast in both English and Pidgin. The dual-language coverage aims to make the tournament more relatable and engaging, allowing viewers to enjoy every match in the tone and style they prefer.

The announcement follows confirmation that SuperSport, a subsidiary of MultiChoice (a Canal+ Company), has secured the broadcast rights for the highly anticipated tournament, which kicks off in Morocco on December 21, 2025.

MultiChoice’s commitment to local-language commentary is part of a broader strategy to connect with Africa’s diverse audience. By offering Pidgin alongside English, the company ensures that the excitement of the tournament reaches fans across different regions and cultural backgrounds.

Subscribers will be able to watch all matches live on DStv or stream via the DStv app, with both language options available throughout the tournament. Viewers can easily switch between English and Pidgin audio feeds using their remote controls.

The tournament runs from December 21, 2025, to January 18, 2026. Fans are encouraged to upgrade their DStv or GOtv subscriptions to gain full access to live matches, expert studio analysis, and in-depth coverage of Africa’s premier football competition.
