DAZN, the global sports streaming platform, has recently sealed a groundbreaking deal for broadcasting Italy’s prestigious Serie A soccer league in the United Kingdom and the United States. This agreement marks a significant milestone in expanding DAZN’s reach across international markets.
Serie A enthusiasts in the UK and Ireland are in for a treat as DAZN will exclusively stream up to eight games per matchday week, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the league. In addition to these exclusive matches, two other games will be available on a non-exclusive basis. This move by DAZN aims to provide fans with unparalleled access to top-tier Italian football action.
Furthermore, DAZN has secured Spanish language rights for Serie A in the US and Caribbean regions. The streaming service will air five matches exclusively, enhancing the viewing experience for Spanish-speaking audiences. Additionally, DAZN has obtained global digital highlights for Serie A, Coppa Italia, and Supercoppa Italiana, excluding specific regions. These highlights will offer fans concise two or three-minute packages per game, enriching their post-match analysis.
The context of this deal sheds light on the current broadcasting landscape of Serie A in the UK & Ireland. While TNT Sports is the league’s existing broadcast partner in this region, it only showcases two matches per round of fixtures. The rest of the games are available on a pay-per-view basis through OneFootball. With DAZN taking over broadcasting duties, every single match from Serie A will now be aired live, except those scheduled during blackout windows.
Experts point out that this collaboration with DAZN signifies a strategic move by Serie A to enhance its global viewership and engagement levels. By aligning with a key player like DAZN, Serie A aims to cater to a broader audience base while elevating its presence on an international scale.
Pete Oliver, Chief Executive of Growth Markets at DAZN expressed excitement about this partnership stating that
“This agreement reinforces DAZN’s position as the global home of football – expanding our footprint in Europe and the Americas and giving fans unrivalled access to Italian football.”
Looking ahead to what’s next for Serie A fans worldwide—the 2025/26 season kick-off is scheduled for 23rd August—an event eagerly anticipated by football aficionados eagerly awaiting another thrilling season of top-class Italian soccer action.
As football enthusiasts gear up for another exciting season ahead with expanded access to Serie A matches through DAZN’s innovative streaming platform; they can expect more immersive experiences and comprehensive coverage than ever before.
