For those wondering what happens to Showmax content when it shuts down on 30 April 2026, it will be available on the DStv streaming platform.
To sweeten this move, Showmax is offering users free trial access to DStv Stream Compact until the end of May, followed by a discounted R99 monthly subscription for 12 months (up to 75% less than the standard price).
However, the migration isn’t automatic; subscribers must opt in through a sign-up process shared via email, giving MultiChoice a chance to actively convert users instead of transferring them passively.
Showmax content now sits alongside live TV, international series, movies, and sport, positioning DStv Stream as a single, all-in-one platform for both on-demand and live viewing.
