SuperSport has signed a contract extension to broadcasting the Premier League in South Africa as well as the rest of sub-Saharan Africa for a further 3 seasons until 2025.

It means that DStv subscribers will continue to see Premier League coverage, with the broadcasting rights that are for all languages and through all distribution platforms, including television, internet and mobile. SuperSport is a subsidiary of the MultiChoice Group.

"These are challenging times for everyone, so to secure these rights is most gratifying," says Calvo Mawela, MultiChoice Group CEO.

"We have been a proud partner of the Premier League since its inception. The Premier League stirs the passions of the many football followers throughout Africa on a weekly basis, consistently delivering competitive fixtures and unpredictable results. We are pleased to continue to provide this world-class content to our subscribers."

Paul Molnar, Premier League director of broadcasting, in a statement, says "The Premier League is delighted to renew its long-standing partnership with SuperSport for media rights in sub-Saharan Africa for a further three seasons".

"This renewal is testament to the outstanding content and production offering that SuperSport has consistently delivered to bring Premier League action to passionate fans in the region. We are looking forward to continuing to work with SuperSport and MultiChoice in the years ahead."
