How to watch UEFA Conference League in Nigeria

Football fans in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in Francophone countries, can watch the UEFA Conference League exclusively in French on the Canal+ Sport Afrique channels after securing the rights to this competition for the first time in August 2026.

This multi-year rights deal is also a multi-tournament agreement, granting Canal+ the rights to UEFA’s other men’s continental club competitions, namely the UEFA Champions League and the Europa League.

Canal+’s rights deal spans over 40 countries and covers the 2027-28 to 2030-31 seasons. However, Canal+ Sport Afrique’s exclusive coverage is limited to French-speaking Africa, while SuperSport (also owned by Canal+) broadcasts the tournament in English and Portuguese.

Viewers must subscribe to the Canal+ satellite pay-TV service to access Canal+ Sport Afrique and its Conference League coverage, allowing fans to watch live matches on TV through an HD set-top box. A Canal+ subscription includes free access to the CANAL+ app, which enables fans to stream live UEFA Conference League games on smartphones and tablets, select game consoles, smart TVs, and Apple TV.

SuperSport holds the broadcast rights for the UEFA Conference League in sub-Saharan Africa. As a result, fans from countries such as Cameroon, Ethiopia, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, and elsewhere in the region can watch live UEFA Conference League matches and replays in English on SuperSport channels.

Viewers can access the Conference League coverage on SuperSport through satellite TV via DStv or through digital terrestrial television via GOtv. Additionally, SuperSport offers streaming options for added convenience.

A subscription is required to access SuperSport channels, which are available through both a decoder (set-top box + streaming) and various streaming packages. Live fixtures are broadcast on the network’s linear channels, including SuperSport Variety and SuperSport MaXimo.

Package offerings may vary by country. However, DStv’s Premium, Compact Plus, and Compact packages provide the most comprehensive UEFA Conference League coverage for both decoder and streaming options, in that order.

Fans in sub-Saharan Africa can also stream live UEFA Conference League games in English using the DStv app, which is available for free with a DStv subscription. The app can be downloaded from the Google Play Store, Apple App Store, Huawei AppGallery, and other app stores. Additionally, the app is compatible with select smart TVs and gaming consoles.
