MultiChoice Nigeria has launched its yearly Step-Up offer, giving DStv and GOtv subscribers a chance to move to a higher package when they pay for one above their current subscription.

This offer, which started on Monday, January 13, 2025, and ends on Monday, March 31, 2025, provides access to premium content.

Both new, active, and reconnected subscribers can benefit. Active users can enjoy the upgrade by subscribing to a higher package, while disconnected customers can participate by reconnecting on a package higher than their previous one.

The pay-TV company said new customers are also welcome to join by upgrading from their initial subscription package.

Subscribers who upgrade will gain access to a wide range of premium content, including top-tier sports like the English Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, UEFA Champions League, FA Cup, Tennis, Formula 1, UFC, WWE, and Boxing. They can also enjoy a variety of international movies, series, telenovelas, music shows, news, and children’s programs.

In December 2024, during the Yuletide, MultiChoice allowed DStv subscribers to watch all channels for free for a limited time.

Similarly, GOtv subscribers on lower packages were given access to the GOtv Supa Plus package at a reduced cost.

Tope Oshunkeye, Executive Head of Marketing, West Africa, MultiChoice, said of the offer:

“We are delighted to offer this exciting opportunity to our valued customers. The Step-Up offer is our way of thanking loyal custom­ers for their continued support. At MultiChoice, we are always looking to provide value for our customers, ensuring that everyone gets the best viewing experience possible.”
