Local channels
All free-to-air Kenyan channels are available across all GOtv packages, including Citizen TV, KTN, NTV, KBC, K24, and KTN News.
Is WWE on GOtv Max?
No. WWE is available on GOtv Supa, which also adds ROK and KIX for movies, plus music channels like MTV Base, Trace Mziki, and Trace Gospel. If WWE is your main reason to upgrade, you will need GOtv Supa at KES 2,199/month.
Does GOtv Max show Premier League?
No. SuperSport Premier League is exclusive to the GOtv Supa+ package. GOtv Max carries live football—particularly La Liga and other SuperSport events—but not the English Premier League.
What is the difference between GOtv Max and GOtv Supa?
GOtv Max costs KES 1,699 and includes 60+ channels, while GOtv Supa costs KES 2,199 and includes 70+ channels.
GOtv Supa sits above GOtv Max and is built mainly for viewers who care about football, wrestling, and a stronger mix of international entertainment.
The key additions you get with Supa over Max:
- WWE Raw, SmackDown, NXT, and all major premium live events on the WWE channel — this alone makes many people upgrade from Max.
- Extra movie channels: ROK and KIX
- Additional music channels: Trace Gospel
If sport and wrestling are priorities, Supa is worth the extra KES 500/month. GOtv Supa also suits viewers upgrading from GOtv Max who feel Max no longer meets their sports needs — however, if you only watch TV occasionally, Supa may feel like overkill.

Troubleshooting common issues
Package not updating after payment
Wait at least 10 minutes after payment. If the package hasn't changed, restart your decoder. If the issue persists, contact GOtv customer care.
Wrong IUC number entered
Double-check the red sticker on the underside of your decoder. The IUC number is 10 digits long — do not confuse it with your phone number.
USSD code not working
Make sure you are dialling from the SIM card registered to your GOtv account. Only the registered number can make changes via USSD.
Payment debited but subscription not activated
Simply paying the correct amount for a package does not automatically upgrade your subscription — you must also complete the change through the portal, app, or USSD.
