Showmax has announced their sport streaming service – Showmax Pro – has grown 111% year on year. This comes at a time when FIFA World Cup Qatar is gearing up.

Customers on the Showmax Pro package will stream all 64 World Cup Matches live and in 4K, courtesy of SuperSport.

This is according to a report released by Multi-Choice on November 10th 2022. The company says paying subscribers for all their plans have grown 50% year on year across Africa.

“This will be a significant landmark for the whole Showmax Pro team,” says Barry Dubovsky, Chief Operating Officer of MultiChoice Connected Video. “We’re offering our sports fans the opportunity to watch the world’s greatest sports spectacle in 4K, HD and on two devices concurrently at an exceptional price point.”

When streaming live sport, including FIFA World Cup games on Showmax Pro, subscribers are able to pause at key moments and rewind for up to five minutes so that they don’t miss a second of the action, before going back to watching live.

Showmax Pro also gives football fans access to all the Premier League action, as well as LaLiga, Serie A, UEFA Champions League, the DStv Premiership and more live games, all streaming courtesy of SuperSport. Other sports such as tennis, marathons and pro boxing matches are readily available for all sports fans.**

“This time of year is all about bringing communities together, through sport and entertainment,” concludes Dubovsky.
