So you’ve heard DStv is bringing in a whole new package offering?
DStv is introducing new packages in Nigeria from 5 November 2026. The changes include new package names, revised channel lineups, a Sports package and updated pricing. Here’s everything you need to know about the new DStv packages.
What are the new DStv packages?
You’ve asked and DStv is listening. The new packages are simpler, clearer and offer more of what you want: more sport, more channels, and fewer repeats.
The four core packages are designed to make great content more accessible. In Nigeria, there are:
| Package | Channels | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | 90+ | NGN6,000 PM |
| Select | 123+ | NGN11,000 PM |
| Sports | 132+ | NGN21,000 PM |
| Premium | 153+ | NGN44,500 PM |
Looking for the best DStv package? The Sports package offers every Premier League and UEFA Champions League match, while Premium includes all DStv content and premium sports such as Formula 1, tennis and golf.
The Sports package also offers every channel that’s available to Select and Starter subscribers, with plenty of local and international entertainment to keep the whole family busy.
Why are DStv packages changing?
We’re making the packages simpler and easier for our customers to understand. We’re strengthening our channel lineup, giving customers more value and fresher content. It’s the first step in a wider effort to make DStv even better for customers.
What's changing for me?
From 5 November, some DStv customers are being migrated to new packages, and the new packages will be available to new subscribers. The migration is being implemented in phases, and even if your account shows your old package name, you’ll still receive any new channels.
