Like we agreed this year, we are not gate keeping. In line with this, I thought it a good idea to put you on Showmax.
Well, Showmax is an on-demand streaming service for Africa. With you the customer in mind, Showmax was designed to enable you stream movies, TV shows, series, and sports content whenever you wish, rather than following a fixed broadcasting schedule; meaning means you get to be in control, when it comes to choosing what to watch and when to watch it.
Brief background story here, less than a month ago, Showmax arrived with a 2.0 version, with the objective of transforming the game when it comes to streaming in Uganda and Africa as a whole.
This followed a joint venture between Comcast’s NBCUniversal and Multichoice. With the revamp came a brand-new look and a massive content lineup, all delivered on a powerful new streaming platform; Showmax that isn’t just another streaming platform but a total game-changer for sports and entertainment lovers across Uganda.
At the forefront of this revamp came the introduction of the first of its kind standalone Premier League mobile plan (Ugx. 15,200). What this means for customers and lovers of the beautiful game of football can now stream all 380 Premier League games live. Yes, every single match—right in the palm of their hands, on their phones, wherever they are. Football has never been this accessible or affordable.
But Showmax isn’t only for football fans. There’s something for everyone with tailored plans:
