Disney+ Adds 2 Live ESPN Channels to South Africa for Current Subscribers

Disney+ has some exciting news for South African subscribers! They’ve recently added ESPN and ESPN2 channels to their streaming service, giving viewers access to international sports leagues, documentaries, and US and global news. The best part? These new channels are included at no extra cost for current subscribers, making it easier than ever to enjoy a wide range of content.

If you’re on the Premium or Mobile plan with the 18+ content feature enabled, you’ll be able to tune into these channels. And don’t worry – parental controls and PINs are available to help manage access to adult programming. If you’re already a fan of ESPN through DStv, you can keep watching on that platform as well.

This move from Disney+ comes at a time when streaming services are increasingly focusing on live sports to compete with traditional broadcasters. By adding ESPN and ESPN2, they’re joining other global streaming platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, and Netflix in offering live sports content. This shift is changing the game for how people watch sports, giving viewers more flexibility and access to a variety of leagues and programs.

Live sports on streaming services are not only convenient but also offer a new way to engage with sports content. With behind-the-scenes access, player biographies, and in-depth analysis, ESPN and ESPN2 on Disney+ provide a comprehensive entertainment experience for sports fans. This move also brings competition to traditional satellite TV providers like SuperSport, giving viewers more choices for how they consume sports shows and events in Africa.

For South African viewers, this means expanded access to global sports leagues and shows without any extra fees. Whether you’re a die-hard football fan or a basketball enthusiast, Disney+ now offers a wide range of sports content for you to enjoy. So grab your smartphone, smart TV, or laptop and start watching your favorite teams and players from around the world. Cheers to more sports, more entertainment, and more ways to enjoy your favorite games!
