Stream SuperSport via DStv Stream
Use NordVPN to watch from anywhere

SuperSport is the definitive sports network in South Africa, and if you time your subscription right, you'll be able to catch every game of the Six Nations – and plenty more besides.

If you've ever tried to tap into SuperSport's riches from abroad, you won't need telling that it just doesn't work properly. However, no matter where in the world you are, a good VPN will let you watch SuperSport just as you would if you were in South Africa.

How to watch SuperSport

There are several SuperSport packages to choose from, ranging from the R99/month Access plan to the R699/month Premium plan, via the R299/month Compact (R299/month) plan.

Whichever plan you choose, you'll need to sign up through DStv Stream in order to live stream SuperSport online.

Traveling outside South Africa? You can use a VPN to watch SuperSport as if you were right at home. NordVPN is our top pick of the options.

Use a VPN to watch SuperSport from abroad

Why is a VPN a good option to watch SuperSport from abroad?

DStv Stream operates in multiple sub-Saharan African countries. However, even if you're a paying customer, you might not be able to watch SuperSport from anywhere other than South Africa.

That’s where a VPN comes in handy – not only does it let you tap into your home streaming services from anywhere, it also protects you from potential online threats.

What devices and platforms are supported by SuperSport and NordVPN?

Amazon Fire Stick
Android (7.1 and up)
Android TV (5.0 and up)
Apple TV (tvOS 13.4 and up)
Chromecast
iOS (13.3 and up)
iPadOS
Web browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari)

Although you can't run NordVPN directly on other devices, such as PlayStation and Xbox consoles, TVs running Apple TV and various other smart TV systems, and VR headsets, an easy workaround is running NordVPN on your smartphone or computer and setting up a hotspot.

Are there any live sports on SuperSport?

As you'd expect, SuperSport is packed with top properties, but what you get access to depends on which package you subscribe to.
