Some weekends just ask for steady light, a fully charged phone, and zero plans to leave the house and this is one of them. From a chilling true-crime finale to the biggest stage in world football, a UFC grudge match, Formula 1 at Spa, and a fiery kitchen showdown, DStv has packed the next 48 hours with must-watch television.
Whether you’re a sports fanatic, a true-crime junkie, or just here for the drama of a cooking competition, here’s your full guide to what’s showing, when, and where to catch it.
1. The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets
When: Saturday, 10PM | Where: M-Net
Kick off your weekend with a gripping true-crime documentary that unpacks one of the most disturbing serial killer cases in recent memory.
This three-part series, executive produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, goes inside the home of Rex Heuermann, the Manhattan architect accused of murdering multiple women over nearly two decades on New York’s Long Island. It features exclusive, never-before-heard interviews with Heuermann’s wife, children, and friends as they grapple with the accusations against a man they thought they knew. The series carries extra weight now: Heuermann pleaded guilty to killing eight women in April 2026, prompting an additional episode that revisits his family’s real-time reckoning with the confession, including insight from their psychotherapist.
2. FRA v ENG – World Cup 3rd Place Play-Off
When: Saturday, 10PM | Where: SuperSport
France and England go head-to-head for World Cup bronze, and if this tournament has taught us anything, it’s that neither side plays for pride quietly. Expect fireworks as two football powerhouses fight to end their campaigns on a high.
Both sides arrive bruised: pre-tournament favourites France were shut out 2-0 by Spain in the semi-final, while England surrendered a last-gasp 2-1 defeat to Argentina after Messi set up both goals. Kylian Mbappé, tied with Messi for the tournament’s Golden Boot race on eight goals, will be desperate to add to his tally after going scoreless in the semis, while Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham look to close the gap. It’s billed as football’s unofficial “bronze final,” played at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium.
3. Du Plessis v Usman
When: Sunday, 1AM | Where: SuperSport
Set your alarm as this UFC clash is worth losing sleep over. Former middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis looks to rebound from the first loss of his UFC career, a dominant defeat to Khamzat Chimaev that ended his 11-fight winning streak and cost him the belt.
Standing in his way is Nigerian-born former welterweight king Kamaru Usman, who makes his first full campaign at 185lbs after 13 months out of the Octagon. It headlines a 12-fight card at Oklahoma City’s Paycom Center, the promotion’s first visit to the city in nearly a decade, with a title shot on the line for the winner.
4. Belgian Grand Prix
When: Sunday, 2PM | Where: SuperSport
The F1 circus rolls into Spa-Francorchamps for one of the most iconic races on the calendar. Round 10 of the 2026 season arrives with the title fight tightening: Mercedes rookie Kimi Antonelli’s championship lead has shrunk to just 25 points over teammate George Russell, with Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton lurking further back after back-to-back podiums.
Hamilton sits one win shy of matching Michael Schumacher’s record six victories at Spa, now chasing it in Ferrari red. With brand-new car and power unit regulations this season, expect the legendary Eau Rouge-Raidillon complex to sort the contenders from the pretenders.
5. MasterChef Nigeria – Finale
When: Sunday, 7PM | Where: M-Net
It all comes down to this. After weeks of whisks, plating panic, and culinary showdowns, MasterChef Nigeria crowns its winner.
Nigeria’s maiden season of the global culinary franchise has whittled ten home cooks down to a final two, fan favourites Fads and Favy, who battled through an emotional elimination that saw finalist David bow out just steps from the finish line. Under judges Chef Eros and Chef Stone, the winner walks away with a historic ₦73 million grand prize as Nigeria’s first-ever MasterChef champion.
6. Spain v Argentina – World Cup Final
When: Sunday, 8PM | Where: SuperSport
In an exciting turn, Spain takes on Argentina for the ultimate prize in world football. Whatever happens over the weekend, this is the match everyone will be talking about on Monday morning.
Reigning European champions Spain, unbeaten and conceding just once all tournament, face defending world champions Argentina at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. It’s a changing-of-the-guard storyline as much as a football match.
19-year-old sensation Lamine Yamal leading Spain’s relentless machine against Lionel Messi, chasing one last title in what’s widely expected to be his final World Cup appearance.
If you can’t get to a TV this weekend, you can stream every single one of these moments live on DStv Stream, wherever you are. So whether you’re at home or on the move, there’s no excuse to miss a second of the action.
