DAZN to take over operation of FIFA Plus streaming channel, platform
DAZN will take over the operation of FIFA Plus, the streaming channel and platform operated by the world's biggest soccer organization.
DAZN has the streaming rights to air Fifa content for this season.
Sports streamer DAZN will take over FIFA’s connected television (CTV) channels and platforms as part of a robust agreement reached this week.
The deal will see DAZN operate and distribute FIFA Plus, including its free, ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channel and premium subscription service, which offers live broadcasts and on-demand replays of FIFA matches and shoulder programming.
The new FIFA Plus platform operated by DAZN will expand on FIFA’s streaming offerings by including more on-demand replays, documentaries and soccer-focused shows, the two sides said.
The agreement comes several months after DAZN was announced as the global broadcaster for the FIFA Club World Cup this year. In some countries, including the United States, DAZN is sublicensing some or all of its Club World Cup matches to traditional broadcasters and pay TV networks.
