With the recent launch of SPOTV NOW in Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong and the Philippines, we now welcome Indonesia sports fans to the SPOTV NOW family. Indonesia sports fans will get to pick and choose what they like to watch. It also delivers the front-row-seat experience of watching their favourite sporting events, teams and heroes, whenever they want, wherever they are. Through the mobile app, we aim to delight sports fans in Indonesia with the electrifying experience of watching a big game and at the same time, provide an avenue for them to relive some of the exhilarating moments in sports with our on-demand features. In the months to come, subscribers will get to enjoy exclusive content that is only available via SPOTV NOW.”

Our strategy is to bring more localised and relevant content to our subscribers in each market, drawing them closer to their unique sports culture, and strengthening the bond among sports fans.
