DAZN will also offer a free game every week for its users. This premium addition to DAZN’s ever-expanding free content proposition is a strategic move that represents DAZN and the NFL’s shared ambition to bring the NFL to new audiences and broaden engagement opportunities across the world. DAZN wants to offer every NFL fan increased accessibility to other live sports. These free games join DAZN’s growing free tier which already includes the UEFA Women’s Champions League as well as select live and complete matches on-demand from top international soccer leagues such as LALIGA, Serie A, Ligue 1 and Saudi Pro League, and much more including boxing across markets.
