Netflix has launched AFCON Daily Show, a daily magazine-style program covering the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco. Hosted by South African media personality Minnie Dlamini alongside veteran sportscaster Robert Marawa and football analyst Melissa Reddy, the show delivers highlights from the previous day’s matches, expert analysis, interviews, fan reactions, and on-the-ground coverage from the tournament venues.
The series began airing on December 22, 2025, with new episodes released each morning and continuing through January 19, 2026. It features English audio with English and French subtitles, making it accessible to viewers across Africa and beyond. Produced by Alto Prod, the program is filmed in part from Rabat and focuses on recapping key moments from the competition.
This marks Netflix’s first dedicated daily sports highlights series for a major African football event. While the platform does not hold rights to stream live AFCON matches—those remain with broadcasters like SuperSport in sub-Saharan Africa (including South Africa) and beIN Sports in other regions—the show represents a notable entry into sports-related content for Netflix in the area.
Netflix has long offered sports documentaries and series, but this daily format during a live tournament signals growing interest in complementary sports programming. It provides an on-demand option for fans to catch up on AFCON action without needing live broadcasts, fitting Netflix’s model of flexible viewing.
The hosting trio boasts strong credentials: Dlamini is a prominent South African presenter, Marawa is a well-known radio and TV sports broadcaster, and Reddy is an international journalist covering top European leagues. Their involvement underscores the show’s aim to blend entertainment with informed football discussion.
In Summary
The AFCON Daily Show is Netflix’s exclusive daily highlights program for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, hosted by Minnie Dlamini, Robert Marawa, and Melissa Reddy, with new episodes available every morning from December 22, 2025, to January 19, 2026.
