DAZN, the global sports entertainment platform, has reached an agreement that secures exclusive and non-exclusive rights to Lega Serie A (Italy’s top football league) competitions, in key international markets – strengthening its long-standing relationship with the league and its football portfolio. In the 2025-2026 season, DAZN will stream every Serie A Championship match in the UK and Ireland and the U.S. (including U.S. Possessions and the Caribbean) (Spanish language only) alongside comprehensive highlight rights across most global territories, continuing its strategic expansion across premium football properties.
DAZN will bring fans closer to the action with coverage of all 10 matches per round, delivering world-class Italian football to more fans in more ways than one.
• United Kingdom and Ireland: Exclusive rights to up to eight matches per round, with two non-exclusive. More than 300 matches will be broadcast live in full. (Any matches that fall within the Saturday blackout window in the UK and Ireland cannot be shown live in full. The blackout window precludes most matches from being shown on television between 2:45 pm and 5:15 pm on Saturdays in the UK and Ireland.) This marks a major development for DAZN in the UK where this will be the platform’s first major European football property available live to British fans.
• U.S. including U.S. Possessions and Caribbean (Spanish-language only): Five matches per round exclusive, five non-exclusive; tailored scheduling to maximise access for Latino audiences. All matches will be broadcast live.
In addition to the Serie A Championship live coverage, DAZN has acquired highlight rights for the Serie A Championship, Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana across nearly every country worldwide – excluding only Italy, Republic of San Marino, Vatican City, and the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region. Highlights will be available at least one hour after the final whistle with two or three-minute packages per match depending on the territory.
DAZN CEO of Growth Markets Pete Oliver said, “Lega Serie A is one of the most storied and technically brilliant leagues in world football. Our partnership with the league has continued to grow stronger, particularly since DAZN became the main domestic broadcaster of the Serie A Championship starting with the 2021-2022 season. 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 as this summer’s FIFA Club World Cup unfolds. From Napoli to Milan, Roma to Juventus – fans want it all, and DAZN is delivering it.” With this new deal, DAZN deepens its football credentials globally and is streaming every match of the tournament – live and free – to audiences worldwide.
