SuperSport celebrated a full house of international sport for 2022 at today’s MultiChoice Showcase, cementing the company’s reputation as the global Home of Champions. The company reaffirmed its commitment to bringing customers all the thrills of the best in action sports from the very best international sports events – live and packaged – from across the planet, on DStv & Showmax Pro.
Access to the 2022 FIFA Football World Cup takes pride of place in the SuperSport footballing line-up in December 2022. “Indeed, we’re the undisputed Home of Football, with Premier League, La Liga, the DStv Premiership, the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League – and plenty of cup competitions in-between – offering an Unbeatable Football experience,” says Marc Jury, Chief Executive Officer of SuperSport.
SuperSport remains a long-term supporter of local sport, both as an investor and a broadcaster. “Our coverage of the DStv Premiership, Telkom KO, Nedbank Cup domestic rugby and cricket is unmatched, and we continue to grow to include a variety of other sport, including netball, basketball, boxing, hockey, golf and several others,” says Jury. The company will continue to broadcast key live sporting events which see South African teams competing with – and besting – opposition around the world, including giving fans the opportunity to follow the World Champion Springboks on their incoming and outgoing tours in 2022.
The company is also the largest funder of sports on the continent and broadcasts most of the major sporting events and leagues, sourcing content and producing its own thrilling programming.
2022 FIFA Football World Cup coverage will include all 64 matches, live and in prime time, supported by an array of highlights, historical footage, news updates and feature pieces. There’s also the UEFA Champions League and Europa League (until May 2022) and the FA Cup (until May 2022).
SuperSport has followed the marauding Springboks on their annual outbound tour to Europe this month and is set to bring viewers all the action from the all-new United Rugby Championship (until June 2022) and an old friend in the shape of the Six Nations will make a reappearance in February. We’ll also be following the World Sevens Series to each stop and supporting the Blitzbokke, every step of the way.
There's plenty of opportunity to catch global women’s sporting events as well: follow the Proteas Women take on the West Indies on an incoming tour; live the magic of the FIFA Women's World Cup; British Open Golf; Augusta National Women's Amateur; LPGA Weekly; Sunshine Ladies Tour; US Women's Open Golf and Solheim Cup. There's the FIG World Challenge Cup Gymnastics, FIG World Cup, FIH Pro League Hockey; DStv Schools Netball Challenge; Paarl Gim Netball Tournament and Spar Challenge International Netball Series. There’s also Women's Premier Division Rugby; Women's Six Nations; Women's Sevens and WTA 1000; WTA 250 & WTA 500 tennis. And that’s not counting mixed events like Athletics; Basketball National League, International Cycling; Absa Cape Epic; SuperSport Shootout Golf, Oxford v Cambridge rowing, PSA World Tour Squash; Super League triathlon and the World Triathlon Championship Series.
Cricket lovers can follow The Ashes and India’s tour of South Africa until January 2022, the IPL in March and the Proteas’ tour of England from July-September and Tennis & Golf fans have all their Majors needs covered, from January to July.
The best action on two and four wheels is sorted too, with coverage of the longest-ever F1 season, MotoGP, SuperBikes, and every major cycling event from May’s Giro d’Italia to October’s Absa Cape Epic and everything from the Amstel Gold Race to Challenge by la Vuelta and the UCI Cyclo-Cross World Cup and Paris-Roubaix to the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup.
Fight fans can get their fix with the very best big-bash boxing bouts, the entire galaxy of UFC stars and the no-holds-barred EFC. The SuperStars of WWE will continue to be a major staple of SuperSport, including headline events like the Royal Rumble in January and WrestleMania in April.
The American Indoor Track League, Diamond League, IAAF World Indoor Tour and World Athletics Continental Tour are crown jewels in their own right, but July & August see SuperSport deliver the Commonwealth Games from Birmingham.
There’s National League Basketball and all the major road running marathons from Lagos to Milan and Hamburg to New York City.
Beyond traditional linear television, SuperSport is available on multiple platforms, including the all-new SuperSport app, supersport.com, dstv.com and on the Catch Up service.
SuperSport is also available on Showmax Pro, the streaming service that bundles the best of African and international entertainment with a selection of live sport from SuperSport (showmax.com).
Sport is back – and there’s nowhere better to enjoy it all in one place, than with SuperSport.
