On Saturday afternoons in Lagos, you will hear the shouts of a Premier League goal that, most times, turn living rooms into a stadium. For most Nigerian subscribers, that sound is from the DStv Compact bouquet. Compact is one of the largest DStv packages in 2025, with over 130 TV channels and 53 audio stations.
Compact provides not just sports channels; it also offers movies, news, kids’ programs, and reality shows. This package sits just below the Compact Plus and Premium packages. Football fans get live Premier League action, WWE fans have a dedicated channel, and children can switch between Cartoon Network, Disney Junior, and Moonbug Kids.
Subscription is flexible. I will break down the prices for you as you read on. I hope you know that if you pay for 11 months, the last month of that year is free. Streams are available on three decoders and two mobile devices, with offline downloads for smartphones and tablets. You can subscribe via the MyDStv App, fintech apps like PalmPay or Opay, or through local POS agents.
