Popular pay TV service StarTimes confirms if AFCON 2023 will be shown

In an official statement, popular Pay TV service StarTimes has confirmed if AFCON 2023 will be available for viewing on their African platform.

The official confirmation was shared on their social media platform today, Friday, January 5, 2024, amidst reports and speculation of AFCON 2023 not being available on the popular pay-TV service DSTV.

StarTimes in a post on their social media platform confirmed that AFCON 2023 which will commence on Saturday, January 13, 2024, will be available for viewing on their platform.

It is no surprise that StarTimes secured the rights for the competition as the Pay TV service has had other exclusive sports content from CAF like the CAF Champions League.

StarTimes delivers digital terrestrial television and satellite television services to consumers while also offering technological solutions to countries and broadcasters transitioning from analog to digital television.

As of July 2020, StarTimes has a presence in 30 countries, catering to 13 million DVB subscribers and serving an additional 20 million OTT users.
