Last month, Canal+ proudly announced that its MultiChoice subsidiary, Supersport, had secured exclusive broadcasting rights for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations across all English and Portuguese-speaking Sub-Saharan African countries. Canal+ will become the first and only global broadcaster to air matches in English, French, Portuguese and different African local languages throughout the tournament.

Like South Africa, the main broadcaster for AFCON 2025 in Nigeria is Supersport under the Canal+ umbrella. Supersport channels are available on DSTV in Nigeria, and a dedicated AFCON channel will be launched as the primary home for the tournament during this period.
