Supersport has released their coverage plans for the UEFA Euro tournament that will be starting this Friday evening, June 10th. Below are the highlights:

There will be a live preview show, tonight, Thursday 9th at 8pm CAT hosted by Neil Andrews and Carol Tshabalala in Randburg with inserts featuring John Dykes and Julia Stewart in France. Supersport 3 will also be airing the live kickoff concert tonight from 22:50pm hosted by David Guetta.

As one would expect, all matches will be airing live and in High Definition on Supersport 3 and, when more than one match is played simultaneously, Supersport 4.


Every match will feature a one hour buildup live from Supersport's Studio 6, which will feature the latest bells and whistles when it comes to augmented reality and special graphics. This coverage will be anchored by Neil Andrews, Caro Tshabalala and Robert Marawa.

Every match will once again have four audio options: English, Zulu, Sotho and Portuguese (If you ever wondered why Supersport always has Portuguese covered, its because the language is spoken widely in Mozambique and Angola, both countries that receive the same Supersport feed like us here in SA).

Supersport has deployed three news crews across France for the tournament who will be providing live and rolling updates during their live coverage on Supersport 3 and also file reports for Supersport Blitz.

The coverage will feature 4 magazine shows:

  • Masterplan: No introduction needed: Supersport's long running weekly in depth analysis brand returns yet again on Sundays at 2pm. 
  • A la Carte: A show for the social media generation, A la Carte will provide a youthful recap of the week's matches as well as provide a preview of what is to come. The show will be hosted  by celebrities and feature all sorts of fun for weekend mornings at 9am.
  • Insight with John Dykes: Will feature interviews with soccer legends in France. 
  • French Connection: This show will see Julia Stewart experiencing the atmosphere in France and her journey around the country.
