New DStv subscription prices in Nigeria: Full list of packages and channels for November 2026

Nigerians subscribing to DStv now have four major packages to choose from following MultiChoice’s introduction of a new subscription structure on November 5, 2026.

The changes affect package names, monthly prices, channel availability and access to major football competitions, including the English Premier League and UEFA Champions League.

The restructuring replaces several familiar packages and introduces more football and entertainment content to lower subscription tiers.

According to DStv’s official announcement, the changes are intended to simplify subscription choices and give customers access to more content.

The following prices took effect from November 5, 2026.

The prices represent the standard monthly subscription charges published by DStv.

DStv’s published materials also contain differing channel totals in some sections. Customers should therefore consult the live package comparison tool for the exact channels available when subscribing.

Starter is the cheapest of the four packages.

Previously known as DStv Access, the package now offers a wider selection of entertainment, including local drama, movies and children’s programming.

One of its major attractions is SuperSport KICKOFF, which provides selected football matches from competitions such as the Premier League, UEFA Champions League, LaLiga and Serie A.

However, Starter does not guarantee access to every match.

For viewers primarily interested in local entertainment and occasional football, the package may provide a relatively affordable option.

Select replaces the former DStv Family package.

It includes the content available on Starter alongside a broader selection of movies, series, documentaries and children’s channels.

DStv says the package provides access to its refreshed movie offerings, including M-Net Movies+ and M-Net Stars.

At ₦11,000 monthly, Select costs ₦5,000 more than Starter.

It may appeal to households that watch a variety of programmes rather than subscribing mainly for football.

The Sports package replaces DStv Compact and is designed for viewers who prioritise live sporting events.

Its biggest attraction is access to every Premier League and UEFA Champions League match covered by DStv.

Importantly, Sports includes the entertainment channels available on Select.

At ₦21,000 monthly, Sports costs ₦10,000 more than Select.

For football fans who previously needed a more expensive subscription to access certain competitions, the new arrangement could influence their package choices.

Premium remains the most expensive of the four packages.

It includes the channels and competitions available on the lower packages, alongside additional premium sporting events and entertainment.

DStv identifies Formula 1, MotoGP, tennis and golf among its major attractions.

Premium costs ₦23,500 more than Sports monthly.

The additional cost may be worthwhile for households interested in a broader range of sports and premium programming.

The most suitable package depends on viewing preferences and monthly budgets.

Starter offers the lowest subscription cost and selected football matches.

Select provides more family entertainment, while Sports targets football enthusiasts seeking comprehensive coverage.

Premium offers the widest selection of entertainment and sporting events.

DStv says existing customers do not need to apply for migration.

Customers may temporarily see their previous package names even after receiving newly added channels.

DStv also says customers do not need to purchase new decoders because of the restructuring.
