MultiChoice has again increased DStv subscription fees across Africa from August 2025, citing foreign exchange pressures and rising operational costs. This has sparked debate about significant price discrepancies for the same service across different countries.

• Kenya and Uganda pay the most for DStv Premium, with subscribers in Kenya paying approximately $91 and Uganda paying around $90.
• Subscribers in Nigeria pay the least for Premium at roughly $29, while South Africa, where MultiChoice is headquartered, is also among the lowest at $54.
• MultiChoice states that pricing is influenced by factors including foreign exchange (FX) pressures, content offerings, and average revenue per user (ARPU) goals.
