DAZN, the world’s leading sports entertainment platform, today announced a series of deals with Fédération Française de Football (FFF) that gives DAZN’s customers in France, the US, UK, Germany, Austria and Spain the ability to watch D1 Arkema, the French top division for women’s football.
Off the back of DAZN’s successful launch in France, this agreement broadens its consumer offer in market, and underlines DAZN’s commitment to invest in and promote women’s football.
Offered to fans via the DAZN app, which is available on smart TVs, mobiles, tablets, PCs and gaming devices, the two D1 Arkema matches per week are co-exclusive with Canal+ and complements DAZN’s delivery of the top two Ligue 1 Uber Eats games per week. This makes DAZN’s €14.99 flexible monthly contract even better value.
The addition of D1 Arkema in the UK, US and Spain, and the continuation of the rights in Germany and Austria, on an exclusive basis for the next three seasons, bolsters DAZN’s extensive portfolio of women’s football rights and further supports DAZN’s growth and development strategy for women’s football, especially after the hugely successful and prominent FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Hannah Brown, DAZN’s co-CEO, Women’s Sport, said: “DAZN is deepening its offer in France with the addition of D1 Arkema, featuring some of the biggest names in the women’s game. It reinforces DAZN’s strategic commitment to investing in and developing women’s football in our core markets – we already hold the domestic rights to top-flight women’s football in Germany, Spain and Japan, as well as global rights to the UEFA Women’s Champions League, NWSL and Spain’s Liga F.
“Alongside our domestic rights we are also promoting D1 Arkema internationally with rights for the US, UK, Spain, Germany and Austria. We are looking forward to bringing more of the best women’s football to audiences in key markets around the world, underlining our position as the home of women’s football.”
