How to Watch Live Watch World Cup 2022 in Nigeria on MultiChoice, Showmax Pro?

MULTICHOICE Nigeria has announced a bumper coverage of the 2022 FIFA World Cup and a special Big Brother Naija +SA edition for its customers on DStv and GOtv.

John Ugbe, CEO, MultiChoice Nigeria, said: “MultiChoice is excited to bring every single fan, all the action in their language, along with local commentary. To add value to all our customers, we are making all 64 World Cup matches, available in 14 different local languages including Pidgin, Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa".

Football fans in Nigeria and sub-Saharan Africa have been assured of full coverage at Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup, as Showmax Pro has promised to broadcast all 64 matches live.

The coverage, courtesy of SuperSport, will be streamed in 4K to its subscribers across sub-Saharan Africa, a first for Africa’s homegrown streaming service.

The Showmax Pro plan allows subscribers to register up to five devices – including smart TVs, media boxes and mobile devices – and stream simultaneously on two devices at the same time. Showmax Pro also offers a mobile-only plan that allows viewers to stream on a single mobile device.

One of the key differences when live-streaming sports versus watching a dedicated television channel is how you consume matches. Rather than tuning into a specific channel, on Showmax Pro you can select specific matches and set reminders to watch. Highlights will be available to stream on-demand if you miss a game.

The 4K stream will have up to 50 frames per second (fps), double the standard 25fps we currently offer.

The ultra-high-definition screen resolution that comes with 4K is 3840 by 2160 pixels. Most 4K devices have around 8 million pixels, meaning every moment of every match will be displayed in brilliant detail.

African viewers including Nigerian can, of course, choose the data streaming option that best suits them, in addition to the new 4K and High Definition (HD) options, there are Low, Data Saving and Max Data Saving modes that use just 300MB, 100MB and 50MB per hour respectively.
