By GlobalDataIn Spain, DAZN also offers matches from Spanish soccer’s La Liga every week, as well as the English Premier League, Liga F, UEFA Women’s Champions League, Formula 1, MotoGP, and boxing.
The previous agreement between the two parties was signed in 2019 and only covered Germany, Austria, Spain, and Italy, while Switzerland was later added in 2020.
Tom Sheppard, partnership development director at Warner Bros. Discovery Sports Europe, said: “As a leading sports destination in Europe, we believe that Eurosport represents a very attractive and complementary offer to the content proposals of our partners.
“DAZN has been a valued partner in Spain, Italy, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland over the past three years and our agreement is another example of how we are able to give sports fans the ability to follow the competitions they love the way they like.”
