Sports streamer Dazn has secured the global rights to build an official LaLiga Channel on its platform for the 2025/26 and 2026/27 seasons.
Available worldwide, the free channel will include a range of LaLiga-produced content, including matchday highlights of every game and other non-live content.
The deal gives Dazn access to LaLiga’s official content package, including game highlights, matchday clips, and additional editorial clips, to be distributed globally in partnership with LaLiga.
Dazn is already the home of live LaLiga matches in Spain as well as in key global markets including Portugal, Italy, Germany, Austria, Japan, and Belgium. With this deal, Dazn is looking to reinforce its position as the go-to destination for top-tier Spanish football.
Shay Segev, CEO of Dazn Group, said: "This is a fantastic moment for football fans globally. LaLiga is one of the world’s most prestigious leagues, and now millions of fans across the globe will be able to enjoy the best of Spanish football for free on Dazn. This partnership reflects our commitment to investing in our proposition globally and making top-tier football more accessible and delivering premium, official content to fans wherever they are."
Javier Tebas, President of LaLiga, said: "We are pleased to broaden our partnership with Dazn to bring LaLiga highlights to a global audience in a way that is innovative, wide-reaching, and fan-first."
Earlier this year, Saudi Arabia’s SURJ Sports Investment acquired a minority stake in Dazn. Discover more here.
