When Showmax launched in Kenya in 2016, it was an African alternative to other popular streaming services that had recently arrived, like Netflix.
Since then, the MultiChoice-owned platform has evolved at a steady pace to adapt to the market, delivering solutions such as M-Pesa payments, mobile-only subscription plans, the latest episodes from popular shows on DStv’s local channel Maisha Magic, and a sports package with live matches, including the English Premier League.
Recently, the first Showmax Original filmed and produced in Kenya went live on the streaming platform: Crime and Justice.
With these evolutions, it’s time to give Showmax another try. Here’s why:
Livestream sport from SuperSport
The Showmax Pro plan delivers live sporting events, including selected weekly games from the English Premier League, La Liga and Serie A. There’s also boxing, basketball, athletics and sports highlights.

Showmax has apps for all devices
With Showmax, you can download the shows you want to watch and take them with you on smartphones and tablets. Showmax is also available on laptops, smart TVs, gaming consoles and more.
There’s a mobile-only version that’s 50% cheaper than the full version
Choose between two plans: Showmax or Showmax Pro. If you prefer to watch videos on your phone with mobile data or when you’re connected to wi-fi, both of these plans have mobile-only versions that are half the price of the full plans. The only difference is that you watch on your mobile device (phone or tablet) only, instead of watching on a variety of devices like a laptop, smart TV or gaming console.
