Fubo and DAZN Sign Long-Term Partnership and Distribution Deal
PUTTING FISTS UP AND SCREENS ON: Fubo and DAZN, the powerhouses of virtual sports streaming, have joined forces in a multi-year partnership. This union is the kickoff to a grander, integrated partnership that promises a myriad of exciting collaborations down the line.
First up on the roster, Fubo will bring DAZN's exclusive boxing and MMA events to the broadcasting world via the new, adrenaline-pumping channel, DAZN1. Packed with premium live fights and on-demand content, this channel stands ready for Fubo customers to claim as a standalone subscription or add-on to their virtual MVPD product. On the flip side, DAZN will roll out Fubo Sports, a free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channel brimming with 400 live sporting events per year, a plethora of sports documentaries, and heart-pounding movies.
First debuted in 2019, Fubo Sports is no stranger to showcasing elite sports action. Currently flaunting exclusive UEFA soccer matches and live events from Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), Peak Fighting, and Ultimate Strongman, the channel is already available on Fubo and more than a dozen free streaming platforms[1][2]. Select Fubo Sports programming can also be found on the network's YouTube channel, ensuring there's no shortage of epic moments to witness.
What's more, Fubo customers will also get the chance to catch DAZN's live pay-per-view events[2].
David Gandler, Fubo Co-Founder and CEO, exudes excitement about the partnership: "With DAZN on board, we're giving fans even more premium sports to devour, wherever they tune in. Our new alliance not only beefs up our sports entertainment lineup, but also offers customers unprecedented flexibility. Of course, we're positively pumped to extend our FAST channel, Fubo Sports, across the DAZN platform and delve further into future joint ventures with the DAZN team."
Shay Segev, DAZN Group CEO, shares the sentiment: "This deal with Fubo champions more top-tier sports content for lovers in the USA and Canada. Fubo viewers are now granted entry to witness the world's elite combat talent as they go head-to-head in electrifying events. The introduction of Fubo Sports on our platform will be a thrilling addition to our expanding buffet of premium sports content."
While the details about these future partnerships may be under wraps for now, it's clear that, together, these streaming giants are gunning for a knockout victory in the world of sports entertainment[3][5].
