The DStv website was hit by an outage on Thursday, 11 June 2026, hours before the FIFA World Cup was scheduled to kick off with a match between Bafana Bafana and Mexico in Mexico City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attempting to access the website where people can sign up and manage their subscription results in an HTTP 503 Service Unavailable server error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The FunctionGraph occurred an error: there might be function syntax errors, no associated functions, etc\u2026 We can’t connect to the server for this app or website at this time,” it stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“There might be too much traffic or a configuration error. Try again later, or contact the app or website owner.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outage tracker Downdetector showed that people were reporting problems with DStv since before 17:45 on Thursday evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MyBroadband’s testing indicated that the main website loaded intermittently, but attempting to log in and access account information resulted in the error message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DStv’s streaming service appeared unaffected by the outage. Subscribers could access the DStv.stream<\/a> website and apps, and the SuperSport PSL channel (DStv 202) could be streamed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are aware that some customers are currently experiencing difficulties accessing DStv.com and our WhatsApp self-service platform,” the broadcaster stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DStv said its technical teams were investigating the issue as a priority and were working to restore full functionality as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“There are no issues affecting DStv Stream, and existing customers can continue to access the service as normal by visiting https:\/\/dstv.stream\/”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
