“The way our customers access content is changing and we’re changing along with them. The DStv App has always allowed customers to stream live channels or watch the latest episodes of their favourite shows. For one weekend only, we’re adding all of our SuperSport channels to the mix, so they can kick back, relax and enjoy their favourite sporting fixtures,” said MultiChoice Uganda’s PR and Communications Manager, Joan Semanda.

- Chelsea takes on Manchester City (Saturday 13:30 CAT LIVE on SuperSport Premier League)

Another major highlight is the Ryder Cup, golf’s traditional showdown between Europe and the United States. This year’s event takes place at the Whistling Straights Golf Course in Haven, Wisconsin. You can Catch Day 1 (Friday 14:00 CAT), Day 2 (Saturday 14:00 CAT) and Day 3 (Sunday 18:00 CAT) all LIVE on SuperSport Grandstand and SuperSport Golf.
“From when we restarted our qualification process in January, the last eight months have been very positive,” said European team captain Padraig Harrington. “Everybody has been able to play and we have a good system in place that has allowed us to look at everyone and see how they’re doing. There is no question that we are in good shape and everyone associated with Team Europe cannot wait to get to Whistling Straits and get going. Especially me!”
Fans of something more visceral and violent can take in UFC 266 (Sunday Prelims 02:00 CAT and Main Card 04:00 CAT LIVE on SuperSport Action), which will be headlined Alexander Volkanovski and Brian Ortega’s grudge match for the UFC Featherweight Championship in the headline bout.
“Right now, [Ortega] thinks he understands this chess game we’re about to play. But he’s going to realise – and real quick – that he doesn’t,” warned Volkanovski.
And if you want your fighting to come with a fair scoop of ‘kayfabe’ alongside it, then check out the latest edition of WWE SmackDown (Saturday 02:00 CAT LIVE on SuperSport Variety 3), where you can catch up on the latest shenanigans heading into Monday’s Pay Per View event, Extreme Rules.
Another key highlight is the Berlin Marathon (Sunday 09:00 CAT LIVE on SuperSport Variety 3), which will see 25,000 runners taking part in the biggest road running race anywhere in the world since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic last year.
What makes this Open Weekend even rewarding is that with the DStv App, customers will be able to enjoy sporting content that is not always accessible on packages outside of DStv Premium, and they can access this content while on the move through their smartphones or other smart and mobile devices.
All SuperSport channels are available to all customers, including DStv Family and DStv Access from 24-26 September
