FIFA scores global DAZN streaming deal
FIFA has launched its digital streaming platform, FIFA+, exclusively on DAZN.
The agreement has created a single global destination for FIFA-related live events, archive content, and original programming. Under the terms of the partnership, DAZN has assumed responsibility for the technical, editorial, distribution, and commercialisation aspects of the service, which will be free-to-view for a global audience.
The integrated platform will broadcast approximately 8,500 live matches annually from around 100 FIFA Member Associations (MAs). The offering also features select archive footage from past tournaments, including FIFA World Cup and FIFA Women’s World Cup events, alongside upcoming 2026 tournaments such as the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup. Existing users of the closed FIFA+ app will be transitioned to the DAZN ecosystem, where they can access interactive features such as live chats and community spaces.
Mattias Grafström, Secretary General of 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. Through this remarkable project, we will be able to continue celebrating the players who have made and continue to make football the world’s number one sport.”
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. Launching FIFA+ will allow fans everywhere to access matches, iconic moments, and original content on DAZN for free as part of the world’s largest football community. DAZN continues to exponentially grow its premium content portfolio and cement its position as the global home of sport.”
