James Rushton, co-chief executive at DAZN Group, said: “At DAZN, we are deeply committed to growing women’s football and women’s sport overall by bringing more visibility to elite competitions, such as the WICC, than ever before; that’s why making next week’s tournament available on DAZN as well as on YouTube for free was a no-brainer, to reach even more existing and new fans alike with what’s sure to be two epic days of action.”

DAZN recently concluded a global rights deal for the revamped Uefa Women’s Champions League.

Under a four-year agreement with Uefa starting next season, DAZN will have exclusive live rights to the competition in all territories except the Middle East and North Africa (where it can offer clips and highlights), and China and its territories.

The streaming service will also be showing games live and for free on its new YouTube channel to target a wider audience.
