Football governing body FIFA and sports streamer DAZN have launched FIFA+ exclusively on DAZN.
The move creates a single global destination for FIFA content, spanning FIFA-related live events, archive content, and original programming.
DAZN will take on responsibility for the technical, editorial, distribution, and commercialisation of FIFA+. The existing FIFA+ service, which was launched in 2022, has closed.
According to FIFA, the DAZN partnership forms part of its plans to expand the reach of FIFA+. It follows the previous collaboration between DAZN and FIFA at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025.
FIFA+ on DAZN will deliver around 8,500 live football events in selected territories annually. This includes content from FIFA Member Associations and select archive content from past FIFA tournaments, including the FIFA World Cup and the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
The 2026 offering also includes the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Poland, the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in Morocco, the FIFA U-17 World Cup in Qatar, and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup in certain territories.
Mattias Grafström, Secretary General at FIFA, said: "The integration of FIFA+ into DAZN represents a key milestone in our ambition to make football truly global and accessible. Following the successful collaboration at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, we are now taking the next steps in building the Global Home of Football, bringing together competitions, content, and storytelling on a single platform while creating new opportunities for our FIFA Member Associations to grow their audiences worldwide.”
Shay Segev, CEO of DAZN Group, said: “Bringing FIFA+ to DAZN reflects our strong partnership with FIFA and our shared ambition to grow football’s reach and cultural impact around the world. With our global footprint, innovative technology, and powerful marketing engine, DAZN will enable FIFA+ content to reach hundreds of millions of sports fans worldwide.”
