- With the FIFA World Cup set to start in a few weeks, Showmax pro has decided to lower its pricing.
- The price reductions are effective from today, 14th October.
- This new promotion is limited to South Africa alone.
We are a little over one month away from the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar. As we near the 20th November kick-off of the first match, Showmax Pro has been actively looking to court football fans over to its streaming platform.
In recent weeks it announced that all 64 matches would be available to stream on the platform, as well as confirming that 4K quality would be available on compatible devices.
The most recent effort to get more football fans includes a drop in monthly subscription prices as of today, 14th October.
“For a limited time only, live sport on Showmax Pro will be available to South African subscribers at a reduced price of R299 per month (from R349) while Pro Mobile will cost R199 per month (from R225). Showmax has reduced prices to give subscribers in South Africa even more affordable access to SuperSport’s coverage of the FIFA World Cup Qatar, which kicks off on 20 November 2022,” the company noted in a press release sent to Hypertext.
Unfortunately there is no mention of when this promotional offer will end, which is likely part of the streaming platform’s strategy to get more sign ups between now the the World Cup’s start.
While the World Cup is the initial draw for this promotional offer, Showmax Pro has also highlighted some of the sporting content, both live and pre-recorded, it has available on its platform.
“Select athletics fixtures, marathons and pro boxing matches also stream live from SuperSport. Sports documentaries on the catalogue include Roger Federer’s Laver Cup Swan Song, rugby doccies Chasing the Sun and Two Sides, and HBO’s 100 Foot Wave,” the company noted.
“There is also an extensive line-up of sports-themed magazine and talk shows on offer, such as Inside LaLiga, SuperSport’s What A Weekend, and Arena eSports. There is also an extensive line-up of world cup related documentaries like The Road to Qatar and FIFA World Cup Films,” it added.
With loadshedding here to stay, it may be worthwhile looking into an option like Showmax Pro, especially for the looming World Cup.
