Another change is Astro SuperSport 4 which is updated to Astro Football on CH 814 and it offers other football leagues such as Conmebol WC and AFC Qualifiers.

Meanwhile, CH 817 (currently beIN Sports 2) will be redesignated as Astro Sports Plus which covers international sporting events from NBA, UFC, One FC, NASCAR, WWE, Athletics and Volleyball.
