DAZN has gained the international rights to the Premier League to broadcast the English top division in Spain and Portugal.
From the 2025-26 season to the 2027-28 season, the deal will see both countries significantly add to DAZN’s reach across Europe with its Premier League offering, as the platform already showcases the league in Belgium via Play Sports.
Elsewhere in Europe, DAZN has a range of football broadcast agreements, such as in Italy with Serie A, Spain’s La Liga and only last week obtaining exclusive domestic rights in France to become the primary broadcaster for Ligue 1 in France.
The streaming service – owner of DAZN Bet – has also secured several other deals in the hopes to consolidate its position as one of the top sports streaming platforms.
Outside of Europe, having acquired exclusive rights from UEFA, DAZN will now broadcast all UEFA club competitions across New Zealand.
This significant move enables the streaming service to broadcast competitions, such as the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League, from 2024/25 to the 2026/27 season.
Pete Oliver, CEO of Growth Markets at DAZN, commented: “DAZN is dedicated to bringing the best in sports entertainment to our customers in New Zealand, and the UEFA competitions, which feature some of the biggest clubs and greatest players in world football, are a compelling addition to our premium content offering.
“DAZN’s customers in the market already enjoy an ever-expanding portfolio of exciting sports content, which includes boxing, the NFL Game Pass, Rally.TV and FIBA Courtside 1891. Delivering excellent value and comprehensive accessibility, DAZN continues to create the most engaging and compelling proposition for sports fans.”
The first game as part of the UEFA broadcast agreement will be the UEFA Super Cup final between Real Madrid and Atalanta on 14 August. DAZN will also show the Champions League play-off rounds from 21-22 August and 27-28 August.
