DStv also says you can download the DStv Stream app and sign up directly if you do not have a decoder.

Is BBNaija on Showmax?
We could not find a MultiChoice statement confirming that the Season 11 24/7 feed was on Showmax. Use the DStv Stream or GOtv Stream app instead, which MultiChoice did confirm.
What was Season 11 called?
Season 11 was called “Show Ya Sef”. An earlier version of this page wrongly called it “No Loose Guard”, which was a previous season’s title, and gave GOtv’s 24/7 channel as 29 instead of 49.
When does the next BBNaija season start?
As of 10:30 AM WAT on 14 October 2026, MultiChoice had not announced a date for the next season. We will update this guide with the new channel numbers as soon as it does.
