Live Serie A and La Liga matches are coming to Showmax Pro

Last weekend, we saw the beginning of the 2022/2023 football season in Italy and Spain, or rather the Serie A and La Liga. For years, European football in South Africa has been confined to a DStv subscription. Well, no longer, friends. Showmax Pro has added the Serie A and La Liga rights to the streaming service, chipping away at DStv’s exclusivity. It’s still all Multichoice, but it’s the thought that counts.

Turning a corner

Adding two of Europe’s biggest domestic leagues is a huge play for Showmax. Showmax Pro gives customers a way to watch these sports without needing a second mortgage on their homes. And the ability to stream matches makes it all the better.

Showmax now has the rights to live broadcast the English Premier League, Spanish La Liga, and the Italian Serie A. There’s also EUFA Europa (sorry Arsenal and United fans) to look forward to. UEFA Champions League is still absent though. That’s being saved for DStv subscribers, at least for the foreseeable future. Maybe next year, Showmax?

La Liga fans are treated to more than just live matches. There’s a slew of extra content to catch up on, from potential signings to highlight discussions, there are plenty of ‘magazine shows’ to look through. Here they are;

• LaLiga Talking Football
• LaLiga Fans
• LaLiga Nations
• LaLiga Tactics
• LaLiga ZAP
• Viva LaLiga

To access these live sports, you’ll need a Showmax Pro subscription. It’s not cheap, sure. But, it’s cheaper than DStv. A month of Pro will cost you R450, opening access to a plethora of live sports. If the Serie A and La Liga are enough to draw your attention, you can sign up over here.
