StarTimes Nigeria has unveiled plans for extensive live coverage of the FIFA World Cup 2026, promising Nigerian viewers access to all 104 matches of football’s biggest global event from June 11 to July 19, 2026.
Speaking on the development, the company’s Marketing Director, Oke Umurhohwo, said StarTimes is committed to ensuring that football fans across Nigeria can follow every moment of the tournament, regardless of their location or financial capacity.
“The FIFA World Cup is more than a football competition; it is a unifying event that brings together families, friends, viewing centres, and entire communities,” Umurhohwo said.
“We are delighted to broadcast all 104 matches live and, at the same time, reward our loyal subscribers with exciting prizes, including a grand prize of N10 million.”
As part of its “Watch the World Cup. Win Big.” promotion, StarTimes will reward subscribers with prizes worth a combined N50 million throughout the tournament.
The highlight of the campaign is a N10 million cash prize, which will be awarded to one lucky winner during a live draw on the final day of the tournament, July 19, 2026.
Other prizes include seven StarTimes H30 Solar Home Systems and fourteen StarTimes S130b Solar TV bundles, each equipped with a built-in decoder and a 32-inch television set.
Customers can automatically qualify for the promotion by purchasing and activating a new StarTimes DTH or DTT decoder, renewing or reactivating eligible bouquet subscriptions, or buying and activating a StarTimes S130b Solar bundle. The promotion runs from June 1 to July 19, 2026.
