You can watch as much as you want, whenever you want, with new content added weekly. Best of all, there are no contracts, and you can cancel at any time.

Showmax offers three plans: Showmax Mobile, Showmax, and Showmax Pro Mobile. Our Pro plan give you access to all the entertainment you love, as well as live sports from SuperSport and 24/7 news channels. While Showmax comes with the option to watch on two devices at the same time, including smart TVs and computers, our mobile plans limit watching to one device at a time and only on mobile devices or tablets.

SuperSport gives Showmax Pro Mobile subscribers a front-row seat to top sporting events from around the world, including:

• Football: UEFA Champions League, English Premier League, LaLiga, Serie A, FA Cup, UEFA Europa League, UEFA Europa Conference League, Premier Soccer League, and more
• Athletics: Diamond League, World Challenge League, and more
• Running: The Berlin, Boston, London, NYC, and Soweto marathons and more
• Boxing: Selected IBF, WBA, WBO, WBC, and African Boxing events
• Other: Various triathlon, gymnastics, squash, and eSport events


Please note that this list is subject to change based on rights limitations from sporting bodies and because we are always looking to add new, exciting events to our catalogue. In addition, the availability of sporting events may vary from country to country.

This depends on which plan you choose. With the standard Showmax plan, you can watch on up to two devices at the same time, including smartphones, tablets, computers, smart TVs, and media boxes. If you choose one of our more affordable mobile plans, you can watch on one mobile device or tablet at a time.

Showmax offers a variety of plans to suit different preferences and budgets, with prices starting at just R39 per month.

If a free trial is available for your plan, your first 14 days will be free, after which you’ll be charged a monthly subscription fee based on your chosen plan. If you’re using a credit or debit card as your payment method, we will require your card details during sign-up. Please note that you will NOT be charged unless you continue to use Showmax after your free trial ends.

Note: The Showmax Pro Mobile plan does not include a 14-day free trial due to sports licencing.

Yes. Showmax is an online video-on-demand service that requires a stable internet connection with a minimum speed of 5 to 10 Mbps, either over Wi-Fi or a mobile network.

To help ease any data burdens, we offer three different streaming qualities, giving you more control over how much data you use. You can also save data by downloading content via the Showmax app when data is free or inexpensive and watching it offline later on your mobile device.

Showmax offers two ways to watch content, both of which require Wi-Fi or a mobile network:

• "Streaming" is the process of watching content live or on demand while connected to the internet. Content is not stored on the device, but a file is still being sent and is being shown as it's received. If you wish to stream the content again, the content file will need to be sent again.
• "Downloaded" content has already been downloaded to a device's memory and can be watched at a later point, even while offline. Downloading the content to the device requires an internet connection, but once the content file has been downloaded, it doesn't need to be sent again to watch it again.

Our app provides you access to our entire catalogue of content on your mobile device, smart TV, media box, computer, Xbox, or PS4. On your mobile device, you can also download shows and movies to watch while offline.

To download the app, go to the app store on your device, search "Showmax", select the app, and then proceed with the download. To start watching, sign up at www.showmax.com and select a subscription plan. Once you’re a subscriber, log in to the Showmax app on your device and start watching!
