Choosing a GOtv package comes down to two things: what you can spend each month, and what you actually watch. Below are the current GOtv subscription prices in Nigeria, confirmed from the official GOtv price list, along with a plain breakdown of what each plan gives you so you can match the right one to your household.
Prices are listed as monthly rates unless stated otherwise. GOtv reviews its pricing from time to time, so confirm the figure in the MyGOtv app before you pay, in case a rate has changed since this was published.

What Each GOtv Package Includes
GOtv Smallie
Smallie is the entry point into GOtv, built for viewers who mainly want local channels at the lowest cost. It covers Nigerian favourites like Africa Magic Family, the main news channels, and a basic mix of general entertainment. It carries only limited sport, so it suits casual viewers and single-person households rather than sports fans or big families.
GOtv Jinja
Jinja roughly doubles the Smallie price and adds real value for family viewing, most notably the Africa Magic vernacular channels in Yoruba, Hausa, and Igbo. It leans heavily on Nigerian and African content, with light sport such as the SuperSport highlight channels. It is a strong middle option for families who watch mostly local programming and are happy with match highlights rather than every live game.
GOtv Jolli
Jolli steps up to 65 or more channels and is where the sport offering starts to become genuinely useful, including SuperSport channels that carry select live football. It also adds the Big Brother Naija live channel during the season, which the lower packages do not include. This is a common choice for households that want a broader entertainment mix without paying for the top tiers.
GOtv Max
Max is the most popular mid-to-upper package, with 75 or more channels covering a wide spread of sport, movies, series, and kids’ content. If your household wants solid Premier League coverage alongside general entertainment, Max is usually the sweet spot between price and variety.
GOtv Supa and Supa+
Supa and Supa+ are the premium tiers. Supa carries 80 or more channels with strong sport, including English Premier League matches and WWE, plus expanded movie and telenovela options. Supa+ sits at the top with 85 or more channels and the fullest sport line-up, including a dedicated Premier League channel. These two suit serious sports viewers and larger households that want the complete GOtv experience.
Which GOtv Package Should You Choose
Start from what your household actually watches rather than the channel count. If you mostly follow local news and Nollywood, Smallie or Jinja covers that cheaply, and the jump to Jinja is worth it for the vernacular Africa Magic channels. If live football matters, do not settle below Jolli, and be honest that comprehensive live coverage really begins at Max and above.
A useful rule is to pick the lowest package that carries the specific channels you would be upset to lose, then upgrade only if you find yourself missing something. It is easy to move up a tier later through the app, so there is no need to overpay from the start. Before subscribing, confirm a channel you care about is actually in the package, since a plan that looks cheaper can be a false saving if it drops the one thing you watch most.
How to Pay for Your GOtv Subscription
The simplest routes are the MyGOtv app, where you sign in with your IUC number and pay by card or transfer, and the USSD code *288#, which works on any network and lets you renew, check your balance, and reconnect without internet. Most Nigerian banks also offer GOtv payment through their own USSD banking codes under bill payments.
Whichever method you use, keep your decoder switched on while paying, since this lets the reactivation signal reach the box and reduces the chance of channels failing to restore afterwards.
If Your Channels Do Not Show After Paying
Sometimes a payment goes through but the channels do not return straight away. This is usually a reactivation delay rather than a fault, and it often clears on its own within a few minutes. If it does not, our guide on how to recover lost GOtv channels walks through the reset steps that fix it. For any on-screen error code that appears instead of your channels, our guide on fixing common GOtv decoder problems explains what each one means.
GOtv remains one of the more affordable ways to get quality TV in Nigeria, and the range from Smallie to Supa+ means there is a genuine fit for most budgets. Match the package to what you watch, pay through the app or *288#, and upgrade only when you actually need more. For the definitive current prices and the full channel list for each package, the official GOtv Nigeria packages page is the source to confirm against before you pay.
