SuperSport Will Not Be Broadcasting The Winter Olympics Which Is Taking Place From 6 To 22 February 2026

Also Read

This year, SuperSport will not have any coverage of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina, which are taking place from 6 to 22 February 2026.

A spokesperson for MultiChoice, now owned by French media giant Groupe Canal+, told sources that there wouldn’t be live coverage or highlights on Catch Up.

There is currently no official media rights holder for the event listed on the Olympics website. It merely states “TBC”.

After not sending a team to the Winter Olympics since 2018, South Africa has sent its largest-ever winter sports delegation to the games this year.

South Africa has five people competing in the Winter Olympics this year: two in alpine skiing, one in cross-country skiing, one in freestyle skiing, and one in skeleton.

Lara Markthaler has made local headlines as one of the youngest women in the field, celebrating her 19th birthday when she competes in the giant slalom on 15 February. She has also qualified for slalom.

Nicole Burger is the first South African woman to qualify in Skeleton, while Matt Smith qualified for cross-country skiing in just two years.

Malica Malherbe will represent South Africa in freestyle skiing, and 17-year-old Thomas Weir is another up-and-comer in alpine skiing alongside Markthaler.

Dropping the Winter Olympics from DStv means Canal+ is starting to weaken its SuperSport offering to save money, which points to serious trouble for the pay-TV operator.

DStv Premium subscribers are willing to pay over R1,000 a month for a decoder-based package because of its exceptional SuperSport offering.

Streaming-only subscribers on a month-to-month plan pay R799 per month for DStv Premium. On contract, streaming-only DStv Premium packages are available for R699 per month.

Whether it is rugby, soccer, cricket, tennis, boxing, golf, motorsport, or athletics, if there is a big sporting event, it is sure to be on SuperSport.

However, MultiChoice has now broken the trust of DStv Premium subscribers for failing to show the Winter Olympics with a historic South African team representing the country at the games.

KykNet Is Widening The Reach Of M-Net's International Dramas Following The Closure Of Me And 1Magic In 2024

Also Read

A few years ago, MultiChoice and M-Net made the decision to yank away both Me and 1Magic from the DStv platform. These endeavours were consolidated under M-Net and Showmax, the company's struggling streaming service.

Since then, viewers of these brands had to resort to Universal TV, Comedy Central and Bravo to get access to The Real Housewives alongside older seasons of Chicago P.D. and The Equaliser. 

The problem part to this rearrangement dealt with the fact that M-Net curated local content like My Kitchen Rules SA and Summertide. With the closure of Me, this offering wasn't being allocated on Mzansi Magic as seen with Showmax's Youngins.

It had even been speculated that Compact+ and Compact's decline in subscribers stemmed from the closures of these brands. While it doesn't seem like MultiChoice or Canal+ could launch something along the lines of Me in a near term.

It seems like under Canal+, they have begun reintroducing these shows or at least to KykNET starting with American drama, Landman.

After KykNET & Kie decided to ramp up international telenovelas similar to what eMedia Investments had been doing for their linear platforms. The brand appears to be broadening this lineup with Landman.

It's likely that more dramas will receive the same treatment as Landman or in this case Summertide, Recipe For Love And Murder and King & Conqueror.

Based in France, Canal+ had been dubbing shows distributed by Warner Bros. Discovery, Disney and Paramount in that market. There's no reason to doubt that a similar outcome is awaiting DStv consumers in Southern Africa.
