The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) has confirmed TopStar as the new broadcasting partner for the MTN Super League, stepping in after the conclusion of the long-standing deal with SuperSport. This announcement marks the beginning of a new era in Zambian football broadcasting, bringing fresh opportunities for fans across the country to access live matches.
End of an 18-Year Era with SuperSport
SuperSport had been the official broadcaster of the MTN Super League since 2007, providing live coverage for 18 years. The partnership was instrumental in elevating the visibility of Zambian football across Africa, showcasing thrilling action from top teams and players. However, with the contract not renewed, FAZ has ushered in a new chapter by partnering with TopStar.
TopStar Steps In with Sun Sports TV
TopStar’s entry means fans will continue enjoying live league matches without interruption. The broadcaster will air fixtures on Sun Sports TV, a move expected to widen access across Zambia and beyond.
The coverage kicks off this weekend with two big fixtures:
Both matches will be broadcast live, ensuring fans don’t miss a moment of the action.
What This Means for Fans
For many fans, the switch to TopStar brings optimism for increased accessibility and local focus. With Sun Sports TV at the forefront, Zambian football will be delivered to households at affordable rates, potentially expanding the league’s fan base nationwide.
Looking Ahead
As the MTN Super League kicks off under a new broadcasting partner, attention will be on the quality of coverage, storytelling, and production value. If TopStar delivers consistently, this partnership could help the Zambian game reach even greater heights in the coming years.
