Our take
DAZN is a sports streaming subscription service providing full coverage of every game in a league, with commentary from the home country it’s being shown in.
Referred to as the "Netflix of sport", DAZN has pursued an aggressive strategy of buying up popular, undervalued sports rights and launched quickly into new markets since launching in 2016. This has meant they were able to monopolise the television rights for combat sports like boxing and NFL. They now stream nearly 1 billion hours of live sport every year.
The company is also boosted by its sizeable B2B activities, which includes providing streaming and data to other sports broadcasters, betting firms and publishers. DAZN also owns Goal.com, a football website with 100 million users, and Opta, a well-known sports analytics company.
