How to Stream Women’s 2023 FIFA in South Africa
The South African Broadcasting Corporation will provide access to the FIFA 2023 tournament. Unfortunately, the national broadcaster is limited when it comes to the number of streaming devices it supports. In fact, you can only watch the games live on TV, listen to the commentary on the radio, or on the official website.
Showmax is another excellent alternative to stream every match on your laptop, phone, smart TV, or iPhone. It is a streaming service owned by MultiChoice. The service was launched on August 19 2015 and has been competing with international streaming services like Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, and Netflix.
Football fans in South Africa and across Africa can stream every match with English commentary using Showmax. However, you must upgrade to Showmax pro to watch all the games. At the moment, subscribers pay R349 per month to access Showmax pro.
However, you must be in South Africa to use the service.
If you are traveling outside of South Africa, don’t worry. You will find other streaming services you can use to watch your favorite teams. Fubo and Sling TV are your best bets in the US.
