FAQs

How can I watch Sky Sports in South Africa? ›

Using a suitable VPN is the only solution to unblock Sky Sports in South Africa. As soon as you connect to the UK server of any reliable VPN like ExpressVPN, it will mask your IP and assign you a new UK-based IP. This way, you can stream sports on Sky Sports without any hassle in South Africa.

Due to geo-restrictions, Sky Sports is available just to citizens of the UK + Ireland. Anyone outside these countries must utilize Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). Fortunately, people from the US and other countries can still tune in to watch their sports teams triumph.

Out of 11 possible options, we found the best overall was DStv Premium. It offers the most comprehensive line-up of sports and major sporting events of any service available in South Africa. To get access to its SuperSport channels, you will have to pay a monthly fee of R799 for the streaming-only Premium package.

From next season (2024/25), a new rights agreement between the EFL and Sky Sports comes into effect, making Sky Sports the home of the EFL. With over 1,000 EFL fixtures live on Sky Sports via Sky and NOW each season, iFollow will cease to offer domestic live video coverage of EFL matches.

NordVPN is the best VPN for watching Sky Sports outside the USA. The company has the largest network of servers among the major providers: a whopping 6200+ servers in 111 countries. While it only has servers in London in the UK, the number of servers exceeds 440. NordVPN is also popular for its amazing speeds.

The SuperSport App is available in all countries, and is free to download and use. No need for a DStv subscription. Please note though - our video rights cover sub-Saharan Africa only. It is currently available from the Google Play, Apple App Stores and Huawei AppGallery, so use the links below to download now.

ExpressVPN is the best VPN for Sky Sports, offering ultra-fast speeds and unlimited bandwidth. Try it risk-free!

Bypass geo-restrictions. A VPN allows you to connect to a server in the UK or Ireland and encrypts your data so that you can access Sky Go with a new IP address based in those regions. Prevent speed throttling. Your ISP (internet service provider) might be throttling your speed connection when you're streaming.

Getting a UK or Irish IP address so you can watch Sky Sports securely is extremely easy – you just need a VPN that can connect to a server in that country. The server will then give you a UK IP address or an Ireland IP address, and replace your current UK or Ireland IP with a secure one.

ESPN recently launched its new streaming service, ESPN+. The service is available on a variety of devices, but unfortunately for South Africans is not streaming outside of the US. That is, if you are on a “South African” Internet connection.
