Sports streamer DAZN has secured exclusive and non-exclusive rights to Italy’s Serie A football league in key international markets.
In the 2025/26 season, DAZN will stream every Serie A championship match in the UK and Ireland and the U.S., alongside highlight rights across most global territories.
The move comes as DAZN prepares to broadcast globally all 63 matches of the FIFA Club World Cup this summer.
For Serie A, DAZN will broadcast all 10 matches per round. In the UK and Ireland, it has exclusive rights to up to eight matches per round, with two non-exclusive. More than 300 matches will be broadcast live in full. It will be the platform’s first major European football property available live to British fans.
In the US, DAZN will broadcast five matches per round exclusively, and five non-exclusively.
DAZN has also acquired highlight rights for the Serie A Championship, Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana across nearly every country worldwide – excluding Italy, Republic of San Marino, Vatican City, and the MENA region.
Highlights will be available at least one hour after the final whistle, with two or three-minute packages per match, depending on the territory.
Pete Oliver, CEO of Growth Markets at DAZN, 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.
