What DAZN is and who runs it

DAZN is a sports streaming service owned by Perform Group, a British media company. It streams live and on-demand sports events — primarily soccer, boxing, MMA, and motorsports — to viewers in over 200 countries and territories. DAZN does not broadcast through cable or satellite; you watch through an app on your phone, tablet, computer, or connected TV device.

DAZN operates as a subscription service only. There is no free tier, no ad-supported option, and no pay-per-event model in most markets. You pay a monthly or annual fee and gain access to whatever sports content DAZN has licensed for your region. The sports available, the price, and the contract terms all vary by country.

Key Takeaways

  • DAZN is a paid streaming service for sports; you need an account and active subscription to watch anything.
  • Monthly cost ranges from roughly $10 to $25 USD depending on your country and whether you commit to an annual plan.
  • The sports offered differ by region — for example, DAZN in Canada carries different soccer leagues than DAZN in Germany.
  • You can cancel anytime if you pay month-to-month, but annual plans usually charge a cancellation fee if you stop early.
  • DAZN requires an internet connection and works on most phones, tablets, computers, and smart TVs.

Pricing and payment plans by region

DAZN's cost depends on where you live. In the United States, DAZN charges roughly $14.99 per month or $99.99 per year (as of the most recent public pricing). In Canada, the monthly rate is around CAD $24.99 or CAD $199.99 annually. In Germany and Austria, monthly plans run approximately €11.99 to €14.99, with annual options available at a discount.

These prices change over time and vary by promotion. DAZN frequently offers discounted first months or free trial periods, especially when launching in a new region or adding major sports rights. Check DAZN's official website for your country to see current rates and any active offers.

Most monthly plans allow you to cancel without penalty at the end of any billing cycle. Annual plans typically lock you in for 12 months; if you cancel early, you may owe a cancellation fee. Read the terms before you sign up, because the cancellation policy differs by country and plan type.

What sports and events DAZN carries

DAZN's content library is built around the sports rights it has purchased for each region. In the United States, DAZN focuses heavily on boxing and MMA, including events from promotions like UFC and Bellator. In Canada and Europe, soccer (football) is the primary draw — DAZN carries various domestic leagues, European competitions, and international matches depending on the country.

DAZN also streams motorsports (Formula 1, MotoGP), rugby, tennis, and other sports in select regions. The exact lineup changes as DAZN renews or loses broadcasting rights. Before you subscribe, visit DAZN's website for your country and browse the current schedule to confirm it carries the sports you want to watch.

How to set up a DAZN account

To watch DAZN, you first create an account on DAZN's website or through the mobile app. You provide an email address, create a password, and enter your payment information (credit card, debit card, or local payment method). DAZN will charge your payment method on the date your subscription begins and on the same date each month or year, depending on your plan.

After your account is active, download the DAZN app to any device you want to use — phone, tablet, laptop, or smart TV. Log in with your email and password, and you can start streaming immediately. Most accounts allow multiple users on the same subscription, though the number of simultaneous streams varies by region and plan type.

Devices and internet requirements

DAZN works on most modern devices: iPhones and iPads (iOS 12 or later), Android phones and tablets, Windows and Mac computers, and smart TVs including Samsung, LG, Sony, and others. DAZN also supports streaming devices like Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, and Google Chromecast. Check DAZN's support page for your specific device to confirm compatibility before you subscribe.

You need a stable internet connection to stream. DAZN recommends a minimum download speed of 2.5 Mbps for standard definition and 5 Mbps for HD quality. Live sports events require a consistent connection; if your internet drops during a match, you may miss part of the action. DAZN does not offer offline downloads on most plans, so you cannot save events to watch later without an internet connection.

Differences between DAZN in different countries

DAZN operates independently in each country, which means the service you get in the United States is not the same as the service in Canada, Germany, or Japan. The sports available, the price, the contract terms, and even the app features can all differ. A subscription to DAZN in one country does not work in another country — you cannot use a US DAZN account while traveling in Canada, for example.

If you move to a different country or travel for an extended period, you may need to pause or cancel your current subscription and sign up for DAZN in your new location. Some regions also offer DAZN+ or premium tiers with additional content or features; these are not available everywhere.

Cancellation and account management

To cancel a month-to-month DAZN subscription, log into your account, go to your subscription settings, and select the cancel option. Most services process cancellations immediately, and you keep access through the end of your current billing period. After that date, your account is closed and you lose access to all content.

If you have an annual plan, cancellation policies vary by country. Some regions allow you to cancel anytime but charge a pro-rated refund or cancellation fee. Others require you to wait until your annual term ends. Check your account settings or contact DAZN support for your specific region to understand the cancellation terms before you commit to an annual plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a VPN to watch DAZN from a different country?

DAZN's terms of service prohibit using VPNs or other tools to mask your location. If DAZN detects VPN use, it may block your account or cancel your subscription. You are expected to use DAZN in the country where you live or hold a valid subscription.

Does DAZN offer a free trial?

DAZN occasionally offers free trial periods, usually for new subscribers or during promotional campaigns. The length and availability of trials vary by country and change over time. Check DAZN's website for your region to see if a trial is currently available.

Can I share my DAZN account with family members?

Most DAZN subscriptions allow multiple users to log in from the same account, but there are limits on how many people can watch at the same time. The number of simultaneous streams allowed depends on your plan and country. Check your account settings or DAZN's support page for your region to confirm the limit.

What happens if I forget my DAZN password?

Go to DAZN's login page and select "Forgot password." DAZN will send a password reset link to the email address associated with your account. Click the link, create a new password, and log in. If you no longer have access to that email address, contact DAZN support for your country to regain access to your account.

Can I pause my DAZN subscription instead of canceling?

Some DAZN regions offer the option to pause your subscription for a set period — typically 30 days — without canceling. This keeps your account and payment method on file so you can resume later without re-entering your information. Check your account settings to see if pause is available in your country.
