DAZN scoops up select rights to Serie A soccer in US, UK
Viewers will soon have even greater access to the top soccer league in Italy.
DAZN is continuing to build its credentials as a soccer streaming destination. Audiences have been getting to know DAZN this summer, thanks to its offering of every match of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup for free. Its inventory of live soccer games is continuing to increase, as the service has announced a non-exclusive deal to stream matches from Italy’s Serie A Championship in major regions around the world, including the United States.
Key Details:
- Italian soccer in Spanish: DAZN has acquired the Spanish-language streaming rights to Serie A in the U.S..
- Overseas, too: The streamer has secured the English-language rights to the league in the U.K. and Ireland.
- Previous deals are paramount: English-language fans will find Serie A games on Paramount+ in the U.S..
In the U.S., DAZN will stream all 10 Serie A Championship matches per round in Spanish; five will be on an exclusive basis and five will be non-exclusive. Scheduling will be tailored to maximize access for all Latino audiences, and all matches will be broadcast live. Paramount+ will remain the primary English-language Serie A broadcast partner in the U.S.
DAZN will also carry Serie A matches abroad. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, the streamer will have English-language rights to the league, with more than 300 live matches, though some blackout exclusions will apply during the Saturday afternoon window.
Eight matches per round will be on DAZN exclusively, and the streamer has acquired highlight rights for Serie A, as well as Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana in every country around the world except Italy, the Republic of San Marino, Vatican City, and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
“Lega Serie A is one of the most storied and technically brilliant leagues in world football,” DAZN executive Pete Oliver said. “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 2021/22 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.”
Previously, TNT Sports held the rights to Serie A matches in the U.K. and Ireland, though it only aired two matches from each round. DAZN’s new deal will increase coverage of the league dramatically in those countries.
In the United States, English-language Serie A rights continue to be owned by CBS Sports. That means they will continue to stream on Paramount+ alongside the UEFA Champions League, the English Football League, National Women’s Soccer League fixtures, and other top soccer competitions from around the globe.
