Is Game of Thrones on Netflix in South Africa?

No. It is not. But do not despair! It is on DStv Now and on Showmax. Here's where to watch Game of Thrones live or on demand.

The first episode of HBO’s Game of Thrones has aired! It’s one of the biggest shows in the entire world and there are only six precious episodes before the battle for Westeros ends. Who will live? Who will die (please, please, please, not Tyrion)? Who gets to wipe the sneer off Cersei’s face? What does Jon do when he figures out the whole aunt thing?

Here’s where to watch all episodes of the eighth and final season of this epic fantasy series in South Africa. For Netflix subscribers, this is one series that will never appear on the service. In South Africa only Showmax and DStv air shows from HBO.

*Update: The full boxset of Game of Thrones S1-8 is ready to be binge-watched on Showmax.*

So last night I finally decided to start Game Of Thrones and go to find it on Netflix and come to find out it’s not on there 😑

DStv

For superfans who think sleep is overrated, each episode airs on Mondays at 03:00 on M-Net (Channel 101) in-line with the USA premiere. For the more sensible people with jobs and employers who expect them to be awake at their desk, there’s a second showing on Mondays at 22:00.

If you really think I’ll be waking up at 3am every Monday for the next 6 weeks, just to watch game of thrones, you are absolutely correct

DStv Now

Same deal as DStv for live viewing. The show is also loaded to Catch Up after the 03:00 broadcast on Mondays and can even be downloaded to watch on smartphones and tablets.

the real question is do I stay up until 3AM watching game of thrones or binge it when I wake up and risk spoilers

Showmax

Each episode is added to Showmax on Mondays at 22h00. (Twitter feed mute skills are going to come in very handy to avoid spoilers during the day.)

Stream all eight seasons of Game of Thrones on Showmax. There’s a 14-day free trial for new subscribers, or add Showmax to your DStv Premium account for free here.
