GOTV is an affordable terrestrial platform and a compatriot to DSTV. GOTV broadcasts all channels from DSTV Access and some from DSTV Compact packages in 11 Sub-Saharan African countries, including Nigeria.
If you're a GOTV subscriber, you can catch actions from your favourite team by navigating to the SuperSport channels on your GOTV.
It is always advisable to subscribe to packages that give you full broadcast of live matches. You don't only get to watch NPFL games, but actions from the EPL also come to your TV screen through your GOTV.
