DStv, GOtv Decoder Prices Reduced for the Second Time in 6 Months

MultiChoice Nigeria has announced a fresh reduction in the prices of its DStv and GOtv decoders,its second price cut in under six months, as the company moves to ease financial pressure on customers amid rising living costs.

The pay-TV provider confirmed that the DStv decoder will now retail for ₦7,900, down from ₦10,000, while the GOtv decoder has been reduced to ₦6,500.

The latest cuts follow similar reductions introduced in June under its “We’ve Got You” campaign, when decoder prices were slashed by as much as 50%.

Why MultiChoice Is Reducing Decoder Prices Again

According to Tope Oshunkeye, MultiChoice’s Executive Head of Marketing, the new pricing reflects the company’s commitment to keeping entertainment affordable during Nigeria’s challenging economic climate.

Oshunkeye noted that the revision is strategically timed ahead of the festive season, a period when families typically spend more time at home and demand for TV entertainment rises.

“This adjustment ensures that quality entertainment remains within reach for all Nigerians, despite economic pressures,” she said.

MultiChoice added that the new price structure also strengthens its competitive edge as the market increasingly tilts toward digital streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, and YouTube.

DStv and GOtv Customers to Enjoy More Content Options

The price reduction coincides with expanded content offerings for subscribers. DStv users will now have access to selected French Ligue 1 matches, following a new broadcasting partnership tied to Canal+’s acquisition of MultiChoice.

SuperSport confirmed that three Ligue 1 games will be broadcast every weekend throughout the football season, enhancing DStv’s premium sports catalogue.

Rendani Ramovha, MultiChoice’s Executive Head of English Sports Content, described the new partnership as a reinforcement of DStv’s long-standing position as “Africa’s home of premium football.”
