What Is DAZN?
Many sports fans around the world have signed up to subscriptions after accessing the DAZN free trial – and DAZN UK is certainly affordable at £1.99 per month.
As of December 2020, DAZN UK has flourished and the company is now one of the leading sports streaming platforms around, particularly for fighting sports.
DAZN has a rich history with boxing and MMA but their recent expansion has coincided with winning the rights to show major sporting events from around the world.
While each territory offers a different service, DAZN offer live broadcasts on the Premier League, NFL, MLB, NHL, Formula 1 and more – the site is ideal for any sports betting fan.
Here, we take a closer look at the brief history of DAZN while also tackling questions relating to DAZN price, how to watch DAZN and starting your DAZN free trial.
DAZN History
Streaming rights differ from territory to territory but monthly subscribers have access to a wide range of options on the DAZN platform.
DAZN offer thousands of events each year, including the Premier League, NBA, NFL, MLB and the likes of boxing and MMA.
DAZN really announced themselves on the sporting stage when they signed a $1 billion deal with Matchroom Boxing USA to exclusively live stream 32 fights per year on the platform.
That blockbuster contract sent shockwaves across the sporting world, with DAZN going on to become the exclusive broadcaster of pound-for-pound king Canelo Alvarez’s fights.
The platform have a dedicated schedule page, which gives viewers a chance to see the full list of sports available on DAZN as well as major events coming up on the service.
DAZN UK
The DAZN UK sports streaming service is well worth considering if you are passionate about sport.
According to the official DAZN UK website, subscribers can access:
-
Exclusive boxing, documentaries, boxing shows with new episodes each weekday, classic fights and more.
-
Watch DAZN UK live and DAZN UK on demand.
One of the main negatives regarding DAZN UK is that the service is still limited. This is reflected in the price of course, with DAZN UK costing just £1.99 per month.
Compared to other sports subscription services, DAZN UK is very cheap and it is certainly the platform to visit if you are a huge boxing betting follower.
With the wider sports streaming community looking at DAZN UK, it is surely only a matter of time until subscribers start to receive a more varied coverage on the service.
How To Watch DAZN UK
Firstly, users must register and sign up to DAZN UK before watching sports online.
Once subscribed to the DAZN UK service, you can watch live sport on a range of devices including Roku, Apple TV, Chromecast, Xbox One, PlayStation and Android.
If you’d prefer to watch DAZN UK on a laptop or computer, DAZN UK streams work on Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari.
The DAZN UK service is fantastic for sports fans who want to keep up with their football prediction bets, boxing rankings and general sport news from around the world.
How Much Does DAZN UK Cost?
DAZN subscriptions vary from country to country but DAZN UK works out as one of the best options in terms of value for money.
At the time of writing, a DAZN UK monthly subscription costs just £1.99 per month – just 10% of the figure charged for North America viewers on DAZN Canada & DAZN USA.
Once DAZN UK obtains the rights to broadcast more sport events in the United Kingdom, that price is likely to rise to a more substantial figure.
The £1.99 DAZN UK subscription gives viewers a chance to watch highlights, replays, behind-the-scenes features, live reports and the service’s own original shows as well as live sport streaming.
Unlike BT Sport and Sky Sports memberships, subscribers are not tied into a contract with DAZN UK and customers can cancel their membership at any time.
Can I Watch DAZN UK For Free?
In years gone by, DAZN offered a free trial to subscribers around the world – which gave potential users the chance to try out the service before signing up.
Unfortunately, the DAZN free trial has now been removed in most territories – though DAZN Canada users can still enjoy a full 30 days of DAZN free of charge.
However, £1.99 for 30 days of sports streaming with DAZN UK is unlikely to break the bank and you are only losing a small amount of money if the service isn’t for you.
DAZN App
Watching sport on the go is more popular than ever, with fans wanting to follow the latest sports action while juggling their busy lives in the modern world.
The DAZN app is the best way to watch sports streams on the move, with the ability to tune in on multiple devices – both at home and on the go. So if you are making Euro 2020 predictions this summer, DAZN UK have you covered.
There is no requirement to commit to a contract nor do you need a cable or satellite dish to watch DAZN on the app, making the setup quick and simple.
Whether you are watching the DAZN app in the UK or overseas, DAZN is one of the easiest platforms to use and watch live sport on a mobile device.
