The new development was confirmed today, Wednesday, January 10, 2024, as it was revealed that both establishments had secured the rights to air the AFCON 2023 competition. Concerns had initially been expressed after it was revealed that DSTV had been outbid by New World TV for the rights to air AFCON 023.
Parity was however restored when StarTimes confirmed that their platform will be showing all the 54 fixtures of AFCON 2023. It has been a rollercoaster ride for football fans in Nigeria and in other countries as well reports a day prior to this announcement stated that the tournament as a whole might not be available for viewing in Nigeria due to concerns of violation of broadcast rights in the country by NBC.
