Good news for DStv customers! MultiChoice South Africa is excited to announce that DStv Compact subscribers can now enjoy the best of international sports with the addition of ESPN 2 to their viewing experience.
This means that basketball and American football fans subscribing to this package will gain access to an exciting world of champions and watch, among others, the nail-biting National Basketball Association (NBA) playoffs and soon, the highly-anticipated National Football League (NFL) draft – which means more value for money!
With ESPN 2 added to the Compact package, this is an excellent opportunity for sports fans to also stay up-to-date and be ringside and enjoy Top Rank Boxing events, the Professional Fighters League (PFL) or follow their favourite teams in the English Football League (EFL).
“At MultiChoice, we are committed to bringing our viewers the best in local and international content and giving our customers more access than ever before. This announcement is our way of rewarding our loyal customers with a wider catalogue of entertaining content to choose from,” says Marc Jury, the CEO of MultiChoice South Africa. “We are also excited that this move will enable us to give sports fans out there looking to get more, for less, an opportunity to stay in the game and take our offering to be front row of the best sports entertainment in the world,” he concludes.
“We are excited to bring ESPN’s compelling content and unique personality to new viewers across Africa,” says Kyle de Klerk, Director: Sports for The Walt Disney Company Africa. “With our unparalleled portfolio of international, local and US leagues, together with live games, sports news, films and documentaries, audiences now have every opportunity to relive the greatest moments in sports history and see those moments being made.”
With the NBA now at the business end of the season and play-off basketball about to commence, DStv Compact viewers will be able to watch the now-fit LeBron James and the LA Lakers look to restore the hearts of the Lakers nation, while his rivalry with Golden State Warriors’ Steph Curry might take centre stage as the Dub nation will look to defend their title.
The Super Bowl is not too far in the rearview mirror. However, many NFL fans can look forward to the NFL Draft, which takes place from April 27 – 29, meaning that the schedule will soon follow in May.
With the addition of ESPN 2 on DStv Compact, MultiChoice offers DStv Compact customers even more sports entertainment than before.
Don’t miss out on the biggest sporting moments of the year by staying connected to the action!
ESPN 2 is available on DStv Channel 219.
