Football fans hoping to catch the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) on Multichoice’s SuperSport channel may be disappointed, as the company has confirmed it will not be showing the tournament due to a lack of broadcasting rights.
The 2023 AFCON is scheduled for January 13th–February 11th.
In a statement, Multichoice clarified that while SuperSport won’t show the games, football fans in Africa can still catch the action through partner Free to Air (FTA) channels.
“SuperSport Channel will not broadcast the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2023 scheduled for January 13th-February 11th, 2024, because the channel has not secured the rights to broadcast the tournament.
