The Claim

Starlink is available in Côte d'Ivoire.

Verified by Lenz ·

The Short Version

Multiple authoritative sources confirm Starlink is commercially available in Côte d'Ivoire as of July 2026. The Ivorian government's official portal, Space in Africa, and Le Monde all independently report that SpaceX received regulatory approval from the ARTCI and launched live customer service, with orders confirmed open as of July 16, 2026. The logical and evidentiary chain from licensing to active commercial availability is complete and uncontested.

Caveats

  • Service launched in July 2026 and may still be in early rollout; coverage quality and hardware availability could vary by region within the country.
  • Some supporting sources (social media posts, unofficial web apps) are low-authority promotional materials and should not be relied upon independently — the core claim rests on government and established media sources.
  • Pricing and equipment costs cited in secondary sources may not reflect final commercial terms and should be verified directly with Starlink.
