GOtv Subscription Price: Old Packages vs ₦4,000–₦21,000 Tiers

The new GOtv subscription price runs from ₦4,000 a month for Easy to ₦21,000 for Sports. If your home had Supa+ for the Premier League, Sports is where you land, and your yearly rise is the biggest of any old package. Jolli and Max homes face smaller rises, and each has a cheaper tier to step down to.

On 5 November, MultiChoice swapped the six old GOtv packages for four. Where you end up depends on what you had before. For plenty of families, the tier one step down is worth a hard look before the next renewal date comes round and the new amount leaves your account.

The new GOtv packages, and when the new price reaches you

Easy is the smallest of the four. Starter, Select and Sports follow in that order, and each one costs more than the last. Don't mix up Easy and Starter, because Easy is the ₦4,000 one and Starter sits above it. On GOtv, only Sports carries every Premier League and Champions League match, and it is also the dearest of the four.

Prepaid months are safe. You keep the package you paid for until they run out, and the new price only reaches you at the first renewal after that.

MultiChoice moves each subscriber to a tier that keeps at least their old channels. In the table below, the tier listed is the nearest match to what each old package carried. Before you pay, confirm your own tier on MyGOtv or *288#.

GOtv subscription price list: your old package vs the new tier

Old prices are October 2026 prices. New prices are as at 13 November 2026, and the 12-month figures assume you stay on that tier all year.

Whichever tier you land on, you can renew your GOtv subscription on AidaPay at the same prices, with 0.15% back (₦31.50 on Sports), for your own decoder or a parent's.

Old Supa is the tricky row. Its GOtv subscription price drops by ₦400 on Select, but that only suits you if films and series were the main draw. For a Supa home that mostly watched football, Sports may fit better than Select, even though the monthly bill climbs a long way.

Jolli homes: ₦200 more on Starter, or ₦1,800 less on Easy

Starter keeps what a Jolli home had. At ₦200 more a month, it barely touches the budget, so most Jolli homes can renew Starter and carry on without a second thought.

Easy is where the savings sit. Your bill falls by ₦1,800 a month compared with old Jolli, and you still get local entertainment, news, music, religious and family shows. In exchange, you give up live football, plus Africa Magic Plus, and the Nollywood fan in your house will probably be first to complain. Try Easy for one month. If nobody has missed Africa Magic Plus by the end of it, keep renewing Easy.

Coming from Max, Select costs ₦2,500 more than you paid

Select keeps your Max channels and adds M-Net Movies+ for films, children's channels, LaLiga and some other sport. For all that, you pay ₦2,500 a month more than Max cost.

Starter goes the other way. It's ₦2,500 a month cheaper than Max and still carries some live sport, though LaLiga and the movie channels drop off. For a house that only gathers round the screen when a big match is on and spends the rest of the week on news, that trade usually makes sense.

Every Premier League match on GOtv means Sports at ₦21,000

Only Sports shows every Premier League and Champions League game on GOtv. Coming from Supa+, you pay ₦4,200 more a month than in October. As a rough illustration, a fan who watches about 17 matches a month pays around ₦1,235 a match on Sports.

Big games only? Select plus a viewing centre on derby days can come out cheaper, because Select costs ₦10,000 less a month than Sports. Here's the sum. Add up what a typical month at the viewing centre costs you, transport included, and set that total against the ₦10,000 gap. Below the gap, Select wins. Above it, stay home with Sports and skip shouting over strangers.

DStv Compact to DStv Sports adds ₦2,000 a month

DStv Compact subscribers now sit on DStv Sports. Your bill rises by ₦2,000 a month, and you keep full Premier League and Champions League coverage.

Can you live without every match? DStv Select is the cheaper switch, and you'd keep CNN, ROK and M-Net Movies+ while losing full Premier League coverage. Check the Select price in the DStv app first. Once you've picked a package, you can pay for DStv online.

Before you renew: check your new package on MyGOtv or *288#

1. Open the MyGOtv app, or MyDStv for DStv, and log in with your IUC number.
2. No data? Dial *288# for GOtv instead, from the SIM registered to your account.
3. Note your new package name and its price.
4. To change tier, choose Change Package in the app or the USSD menu.
5. Pay the exact amount for that package.

If your renewal doesn't go through

Start with the IUC number. It has to be the one on your decoder, not the number of another decoder in the house. Next, make sure the amount matches your new package price exactly and that the package on your account carries the new name rather than your old one. Once those line up, leave the decoder switched on and tuned to a channel while the signal refreshes.

Do that package check today. Then come back to the table, find your old package, and decide whether to stay put or step down to the cheaper switch before the renewal date catches you by surprise.
