Besides coverage on the SABC and a collection of SuperSport channels on MultiChoice's DStv, the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games that was postponed to July 2021 will also be live-streamed on MultiChoice's video streaming service Showmax Pro.
While Japan is struggling with rising Covid-19 cases as the global coronavirus pandemic shows no sign of easing and as the more dangerous and contagious Delta-variant originally from India spreads globally, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics Games plans to continue and will be shown on Showmax Pro from 23 July to 8 August.
"We are thrilled to
bring all the action to our Showmax Pro subscribers to stream
wherever they are, and we'll be backing our African athletes every
step of the way," says Yolisa Phahle, MultiChoice CEO of general entertainment and connected video.
Marc Jury, SuperSport CEO, in the statement says "There is no bigger – or better – celebration of sport than the Olympic Games. It's wonderful theatre, particularly at a time when we need to be entertained, and we look forward to the best-ever broadcast offering."
According to Showmax, Showmax Pro subscribers will have access to live streams of every event that is made available to SuperSport by the Olympic Broadcast Services, including the opening and closing ceremonies, and every medal event.
While only Showmax Pro subscribers will have access to live streams of every available event, all Showmax subscribers will be able to stream exclusive Olympics coverage including talk shows, highlights, and documentaries.
