The company had, in a statement, said it would not be able to broadcast the tournament live because it did not secure the rights to broadcast it.

“SuperSport Channel will not broadcast the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2023 scheduled for January 13th – February 11th, 2024, because the channel has not secured the rights to broadcast the tournament.

“However, AFCON 2023 games will be available through our partner broadcast stations on Free to Air (FTA) channels,” MultiChoice had said.

SuperSport channels will now air all AFCON matches live, as per a new report. The rights are non-exclusive and will be available on most bouquets on DSTV and GOtv.
