DAZN Strengthens LaLiga Footprint in Italy and Portugal
DAZN continues to solidify its position as a key broadcaster of laliga football,recently extending its rights coverage in Italy through a five-year deal announced in April 2024. This expansion encompasses not only the top-flight laliga competition, but also the second-tier LaLiga Hypermotion, offering fans a comprehensive view of Spanish football.
You’ll now have access to live coverage of thrilling matches,including highly anticipated clashes like El Clásico (Real Madrid and Barcelona) and the intense Madrid derby featuring Real and Atletico madrid.Beyond the live action, the agreement also includes valuable highlights rights, ensuring you don’t miss a moment.
This isn’t a new partnership,as DAZN already held five-year domestic rights to LaLiga,a deal running through the 2026-27 season. The recent extension demonstrates a strong, ongoing relationship between the league and the streaming service.
Moreover, DAZN’s reach extends beyond Italy, as the deal also secured rights in Portugal. This strategic move broadens the accessibility of LaLiga to a wider audience.
I’ve found that collaborative efforts between broadcasters are becoming increasingly common. Earlier this year, Mediaset sub-licensed rights from DAZN in both Italy and Spain to broadcast the FIFA Club World Cup. Mediaset offered free-to-air coverage of one prime match daily from the US-based tournament, featuring Italian powerhouses Juventus and Inter Milan.
For Italian football fans, there’s added interest with players currently competing in LaLiga. Giacomo Raspadori and matteo Ruggeri both proudly represent Atletico madrid, adding a familiar face to the exciting Spanish league.
Here’s what works best for keeping up with the evolving landscape of sports broadcasting: staying informed about these key partnerships and rights deals ensures you have access to the games you love. DAZN’s continued investment in LaLiga promises an exciting future for football fans in Italy and Portugal.
