Digicel Samoa proudly announced a milestone today as Digicel TV secured exclusive television rights for the popular 2023-2024
HSBC SVNS (formerly World Rugby Sevens Series) for the next two years.
As part of this groundbreaking deal, Digicel TV and DTV App will be the key platforms to watch all of the Samoa sevens team’s thrilling journey as they take on the world in a brand
new format leading into the Paris Olympic Games.
The SVNS starts in Dubai this weekend and will be held in eight iconic cities, Dubai, Cape Town, Perth, Vancouver, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Singapore with Madrid hosting the finals in
World Rugby’s revamped and rebranded global celebration of rugby sevens with a bold ambition to supercharge rugby’s global reach.
The SVNS will provide the annual platform for the world’s best players to shine with 12 men’s and women’s teams sharing a global stage at the same location and Digicel TV and DTV App
will be the go-to destination for all the action.
Digicel Samoa CEO, Anthony Seuseu with excitement commented on this momentous occasion that this groundbreaking achievement solidifies Digicel TV and DTV App’s dominance in
delivering world-class sports content to fans across Samoa.
“We are thrilled to deliver exceptional value as the home of sports entertainment. I am looking forward to the exciting sevens events and the revamped SVNS will provide an immersive and
engaging sports viewing experience for fans across the country.”
“We are excited to bring to our Digicel TV and DTV App customers our Samoan sevens prowess during the SVNS. This underscores our dedication to delivering premium sports content and
reinforces Digicel TV’s position as the home of sports in the region,” added Anthony.
All the games from the eight tournaments can be watched only on Digicel TV and DTV App, only the super session which is staged on the finals day in each tournament will be shown on a
local Free-to-Air (FTA) channel. Because the broadcast rights were awarded late, the option for FTA channels to the super session matches might only start from the Cape Town tournament
onwards. Digicel Samoa is going to engage with FTA providers and will share more details about this soon.
The HSBC SVNS Dubai live broadcast starts at 6pm on Saturday, 2nd December with USA playing Spain in the women’s division. The women’s cup quarterfinals start at 6.30pm on Sunday with the men’s final scheduled for 4.53am on Monday 4th December.
