The Premier Soccer League (PSL) has taken a significant step in expanding access to South African football by partnering with SuperSport to stream Africa’s leading football league on Showmax. Through this innovative collaboration, all PSL matches, starting with the flagship Betway Premiership, will now be available to Showmax Premier League subscribers at no extra cost.
Football fans can enjoy all 380 Premier League games, as well as live streams of every PSL match, including major tournaments like the Carling Knockout Cup, MTN8, and Nedbank Cup. For just R69 per month, subscribers can watch both international and local football on their mobile devices, offering unmatched value and convenience.
This partnership unlocks football access to millions of fans across Africa, ensuring that supporters can catch all the action of their favorite teams. The PSL consistently draws a massive viewership in South Africa and across the continent. The Betway Premiership kicks off on Saturday, 14 September 2024, with Royal AM taking on Cape Town City at the Harry Gwala Stadium at 15:00, followed by a clash between Kaizer Chiefs and Marumo Gallants at 17:30. Reigning champions Mamelodi Sundowns will start their campaign against SuperSport United on Tuesday, 17 September at 19:30, while Orlando Pirates, fresh from competing in the MTN8 final, will face Chippa United on Wednesday, 18 September at 19:30.
All 16 top-tier clubs will battle it out for the coveted Betway Premiership trophy, recently unveiled at a launch event in Sandton, Johannesburg. After a close race last season, the Buccaneers will be determined to reclaim the title from defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns, setting the stage for one of the most eagerly awaited seasons in recent memory.
Mato Madlala, Acting CEO of the PSL, expressed her excitement about the partnership: “This is a game-changer for South African football. Bringing PSL matches to Showmax is a major win for our league and supporters. This partnership broadens access, allowing fans to enjoy the game wherever they are.”
Marc Jury, CEO of Showmax, echoed this sentiment: “We’re excited to offer South Africa’s most popular football league on our platform. The combination of the Premier League and the PSL on Showmax provides exceptional value for our customers.”
This partnership solidifies the PSL’s position as a leader in local football, with SuperSport continuing to deliver high-quality coverage as the official broadcaster. The addition of the PSL to Showmax creates an even more compelling offering for subscribers who are already enjoying the Premier League.
Showmax continues to shake up the market with its bold content and innovative partnerships. Earlier this year, the platform teamed up with Capitec, offering Capitec banking app users a 50% discount on Showmax subscriptions. This move further highlights Showmax’s commitment to making local sports and entertainment more accessible to a wider audience, addressing the demand for affordable streaming options.
