DAZN is a ground-breaking live and on demand sports streaming service, giving sports fans the control and flexibility to watch their sports, their way.
Basic Information
DAZN is an international over-the-top sports streaming service owned by DAZN Group, which is majority owned by Access Industries.
The company began operations in 2016 under the ownership of Perform Group, anchored by its purchase of global media rights to Japan's J.League football. It initially launched in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland on 10 August 2016, followed by Japan on 23 August 2016. The service expanded to Canada in 2017 (with a focus on streaming rights to the National Football League). After hiring former ESPN president John Skipper, DAZN expanded into the United States in 2018 with a focus on boxing, including major broadcast agreements with promoter Eddie Hearn and Mexican boxer Canelo Álvarez.
In 2018, DAZN and Perform Group's content business was spun off as DAZN Group, with its sports data business later sold to Vista Equity Partners, who merged it with STATS LLC to form Stats Perform.[3] In 2020, DAZN announced plans to expand worldwide, with a focus on its portfolio of global broadcast rights such as boxing, and original content.
