DStv Nigeria has expanded its channel lineup with the addition of SportyTV and Novelas+, following Canal+'s effective takeover of MultiChoice. SportyTV, available on channel 236, brings live sports including Premier League, NBA, and LaLiga content to Access package subscribers, while Novelas+, launched on July 1, 2026, offers Spanish-language and international telenovelas on channel 133.
SportyTV Joins DStv Access Package
DStv Nigeria announced in June 2026 that SportyTV had gone live on its platform, making the sports channel available to subscribers on the Access package. The channel, now listed as Sporty TV Nigeria on channel 236, features live sporting events, highlights, news, and analysis.
According to DStv, the channel offers coverage of competitions including the Premier League, NBA, and LaLiga, as well as exclusive club television content. The addition gives lower-tier subscribers access to more sports content without needing to upgrade to higher DStv packages.
Novelas+ Replaces Previous Telenovela Offering
Another major addition is Novelas+, which became available on DStv Nigeria from July 1, 2026. DStv announced that the channel would be available on channel 133, with Access subscribers among those able to watch it.
Novelas+ focuses on Spanish-language and international telenovelas, bringing romance, drama, and family-focused stories to DStv viewers. The channel is currently listed on DStv Nigeria's official channel directory and across several of its packages.
What This Means for DStv Subscribers
The additions of SportyTV and Novelas+ show that DStv's channel lineup has continued to evolve following Canal+'s takeover of MultiChoice. For Nigerian subscribers, the changes have brought additional sports programming to the lower-priced Access package while expanding the platform's offering for viewers who enjoy telenovelas and international entertainment.
DStv currently lists both channels among its active Nigerian offerings, with SportyTV on channel 236 and Novelas+ on channel 133.
