DStv has replaced six subscription packages in Ghana with four cheaper options, reducing the price of full football access and simplifying its offering for sports, family and general entertainment viewers.
The changes were announced on Thursday, November 5, 2026, at the MultiChoice Group building in Accra. The new monthly packages are Starter at GHC 50, Select at GHC 100, Sports at GHC 250 and Ultimate at GHC 570.
Starter replaces Access, which cost GHC 98, while the former Family package was priced at GHC 188. Customers can now buy a decoder and dish for GHC 99.
The biggest change for football supporters is the Sports package. For GHC 250, subscribers receive DStv’s full football offering, including the UEFA Champions League, English Premier League, La Liga and Serie A. The package also includes WWE, Formula 1, Ligue 1 and other sports content.
Previously, full football access required a Compact subscription costing GHC 563. The new Sports package therefore represents a monthly saving of GHC 313.
Ultimate has also been reduced from GHC 854 to GHC 570, while continuing to offer Formula 1, MotoGP, tennis and golf alongside a broader entertainment selection.
For viewers less interested in sport, the Starter package will include the new Kick Off channel, which will show selected football matches. DStv is also changing its movie offering: M-Net Movies One and Two will merge as M-Net Movies Plus, while M-Net Movies Three and Four will become M-Net Movies Stars and M-Net Movies Legends respectively.
“Our focus is on giving subscribers better value and access to the entertainment they love,” said Alex Okyere, CEO of MultiChoice Ghana.
“DStv’s strength is the combination of African entertainment, leading international content and unrivalled live sport in one place,” he added. “We’ve reimagined our packages to better reflect how customers watch today, with tailored options specifically for general entertainment and sports fans.”
DStv has 12 major dealers and about 1,500 points of sale across Ghana, supported by more than 350 direct sales representatives. Its five offices are in Accra, Tema, Kumasi, Takoradi and Tamale.
MultiChoice established joint-venture operations in Ghana in 1993 and became MultiChoice Ghana Limited in 1995. DStv helped bring premium satellite television, including the English Premier League and UEFA Champions League, into homes, pubs and viewing centres. Its local programming, including Akwaaba Magic, strengthened its connection with Ghanaian audiences, while GOtv, introduced in 2013, widened its reach.
The company has faced criticism over subscription costs during economic pressure. Government engagements in 2025 led to renewed discussions involving MultiChoice and the Ministry of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations.
The latest restructuring follows those discussions and comes as MultiChoice integrates into CANAL+. DStv said its commitment to African storytelling remains central, despite competition from other operators.
More than 30 years after entering Ghana, DStv remains a major player, with the new pricing structure aimed at making premium sport and entertainment accessible to more households.
