CFL on DAZN
DAZN has scored the rights to the Canadian Football League in the UK and Ireland as part of a wider deal.
The broadcaster has reached arrangement with the league – Canada’s equivalent of the NFL – that will see every game from the CFL, the playoffs and the Grey Cup shown live for free via DAZN worldwide, apart from in Canada and the USA.
“We are thrilled to align with DAZN, the global leader in sports media and innovation,” said CFL commissioner Stewart Johnston.
“From our first conversations, they have been steadfast in their pursuit of the CFL. That drive and passion for our game, combined with their cutting-edge capabilities, an unwavering commitment to football and unparalleled global reach, will deliver a new viewing experience for all CFL fans, while introducing broader audiences to Canadian football.”
DAZN CEO Shay Segev added: “The Canadian Football League combines heritage, loyalty, and growing international appeal. Adding the world’s second-largest professional football league is a no-brainer. The CFL is a strong addition to our robust football portfolio and reinforces our commitment to offering top-tier sports to fans globally.”
The deal runs for six seasons from 2027 to 2032.
