FuboTV and DAZN have formed a significant multi-year partnership, aiming to broaden their reach in the competitive sports streaming market. This collaboration will see both companies distribute their linear channels, featuring exclusive sports rights, on each other's U.S. platforms. The initial phase of this integrated partnership launched with the introduction of DAZN1 on FuboTV. This new channel provides access to DAZN's exclusive boxing and MMA events, including live fights and on-demand content.
FuboTV subscribers can now subscribe to DAZN1 as a standalone offering or as an add-on to their existing FuboTV package. Conversely, DAZN is integrating Fubo Sports, FuboTV's free ad-supported streaming TV channel, onto its platform. Fubo Sports boasts an impressive 400 live sporting events annually, alongside sports documentaries and movies. Established in 2019, Fubo Sports showcases exclusive UEFA soccer matches and events from Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, Peak Fighting, and Ultimate Strongman. It's available on numerous free streaming platforms, including FuboTV itself, and selectively on YouTube.
The agreement also extends to FuboTV offering DAZN's live pay-per-view events to its customers. “Fubo and DAZN’s partnership delivers more premium sports to fans, wherever they choose to watch,” stated David Gandler, co-founder and CEO of Fubo. “Adding DAZN’s unmatched fight content enhances our sports entertainment lineup while offering customers greater flexibility. We’re also excited to expand our FAST channel, Fubo Sports, through DAZN and explore further opportunities with Shay and his team.” Shay Segev, DAZN Group CEO, added, “Our deal with Fubo enables DAZN to increase access to top-tier sports content for fans in the U.S. and Canada, as we continue to provide the ultimate sports entertainment experience. Fubo’s viewers can now watch the world’s leading fight talent compete in unmissable events as part of a new DAZN premium fight package. Meanwhile, the launch of Fubo Sports on the DAZN platform will be an exciting addition to our ever-expanding portfolio of premium sports content.”
