      From Hollywood blockbusters to critically acclaimed Arabic and Turkish series, as well as local content, StarzPlay offers something for everyone, catering to diverse tastes and preferences across the MENA region.

      StarzPlay, the subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) service in the MENA region, has continued to strengthen its reputation as the premier destination for entertainment and sports. With an extensive library featuring live sports, blockbuster movies, popular TV shows, as well as Arabic and Turkish series, StarzPlay caters to diverse tastes and preferences, for audiences across the region.

      As part of its commitment to delivering top-tier content, StarzPlay emphasises its exclusive sports offerings, including cricket, Serie A football, golf, rugby, cycling and UFC events. Subscribers can enjoy live cricket all year round, watch every Serie A match, and catch all UFC fights, including the recent UFC Fight Night in Saudi Arabia and the UFC 303 Fight in Las Vegas.

      In addition to its robust sports lineup, StarzPlay offers a combination of live sports and top-tier entertainment, ensuring it remains the top choice for viewers in the MENA region. The platform’s extensive entertainment library includes the upcoming series Those About to Die, a historical drama set in the gladiatorial arenas of ancient Rome premiering on July 18, and the fourth season of Snowpiercer, a post-apocalyptic thriller premiering on July 21.

      Recently, StarzPlay successfully aired UFC’s first-ever event in Saudi Arabia. The historic UFC Fight Night, featuring former UFC Middleweight Champion Robert Whittaker against rising star Ikram Aliskerov, took place at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh. This landmark event, marking UFC’s debut in Saudi Arabia, attracted immense interest and showcased the Kingdom’s growing presence in the global sports arena. Fans witnessed a thrilling match-up, highlighting StarzPlay’s commitment to providing world-class sports entertainment as the Home of the UFC and the exclusive broadcast partner in the MENA region.
