Showmax, a global streaming platform, has announced plans to discontinue its service later in 2026, the company confirmed in a statement on Monday.
Showmax is an online video‑on‑demand streaming service that offers television shows, movies and original content to subscribers. The platform operates in several countries, including Nigeria, and competes with international streaming services for viewership and subscriptions.
In a statement released on Monday, Showmax said it will discontinue its service within the year but did not specify an exact cessation date in the announcement.
The company‐issued notice said that subscribers will be informed in due course about changes to service availability and how their accounts will be managed during the wind‑down period.
Showmax said it will work with its partners and content providers to manage a transition for existing users, without detailing operational steps in the statement.
The announcement did not mention plans to replace the service with an alternative platform or offer new products after discontinuation.
Subscribers and industry stakeholders may receive further information from Showmax as the company provides updates on the discontinuation timeline and service support for existing users.
