South Africa’s tour of Namibia moves into its ODI phase this week, with a three-match series at the Namibia Cricket Ground in Windhoek from September 9 to 13 — the first-ever ODI series between the two nations. It follows South Africa’s T20I tri-series win, beating Zimbabwe by 48 runs in the final.
In India, the series streams live on FanCode, with no TV telecast. SuperSport covers South Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa, while OneAfrica TV carries it in Namibia on DStv 284 and GOtv 24.

Broadcasters by Region
Rights for a regional series like this one are often split between broadcasters, with some territories still unconfirmed. India, South Africa, and Namibia now have confirmed platforms, the table below breaks it down by region.
| Region | TV Channel | Streaming Platform |
|---|---|---|
| South Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa | SuperSport | SuperSport App, DStv Stream |
| Namibia | OneAfrica TV (DStv 284, GOtv 24) | oneafrica.tv |
| India and South Asia | No TV telecast | FanCode App and Website |
| United Kingdom and Europe | Rights not finalised | Check Sky Sports or Discovery+ listings nearer the series |
| Rest of the World | Not confirmed | ICC.tv or official board channels, where available |
Both may be accurate for their respective territories, so check the channel that matches your country rather than assuming one applies everywhere.

Watching on SuperSport
SuperSport has also listed the Namibia versus South Africa tour on its cricket fixtures pages, and it remains the primary broadcaster for South African cricket more broadly.
Viewers can access matches through a DStv connection or the SuperSport app, though the exact channel number can shift by country and package.
- DStv subscribers: Check the SuperSport TV Guide for the confirmed channel closer to match day.
- App users: Stream through DStv Stream or the SuperSport app with an active subscription.
Because both OneAfrica TV and SuperSport have been linked to this tour, it is worth checking your own DStv or GOtv channel guide on the day rather than relying on a single listing.
Watching in India
FanCode is the platform listed for Indian audiences, covering the tour under the tournament tile South Africa and Zimbabwe Tour of Namibia 2026.
No traditional TV channel has been confirmed for India, so the FanCode app and website remain the main route for Indian viewers.
- Open the FanCode app or website and go to the Cricket tab.
- Search for South Africa and Zimbabwe Tour of Namibia 2026.
- Buy a Match Pass, Tour Pass, or use an active FanCode Unlimited subscription.

Watching in the UK, Europe and Other Territories
Broadcast rights for the United Kingdom, Europe and most other territories have not been finalised in official listings.
Platforms such as Sky Sports or Discovery+ have carried similar regional series in the past and may pick up selected matches if rights are confirmed closer to the series.
Fans outside the core broadcast regions should check ICC.tv, the official YouTube channels of Cricket South Africa and Cricket Namibia, or their national cricket board’s website for confirmation, since coverage for a developmental tour like this one is not always guaranteed worldwide.
