Global sports subscription platform DAZN has snapped up global highlights rights to Spanish men's soccer's top-tier LaLiga.
Through a two-year agreement made public today (August 15), DAZN will provide short highlights of every LaLiga match from the 2025-26 and 2026-27 campaigns.

The streaming heavyweight will make post-game action from the 2025-26 season, which begins later today with Girona taking on Rayo Vallecano, available free-to-air worldwide.
Through a deal between DAZN and the 20-team Spanish league, an official LaLiga channel will go live on DAZN, containing the highlights, clips, as well as other editorial content.
This new agreement adds to DAZN covering LaLiga domestically (alongside Movistar), via a deal also running through 2026-27, while the streaming service also holds rights in territories including Germany, Italy, and Japan.
Javier Tebas, LaLiga's president, has said: "DAZN’s platform and global reach make it an ideal home for our content, and we look forward to working together to engage millions of football fans with the best of LaLiga.”

By GlobalDataShay Segev, chief executive at DAZN Group, added: "This partnership reflects our commitment to investing in our proposition globally and making top-tier football more accessible and delivering premium, official content to fans wherever they are. We’re proud to be working with LaLiga to bring its incredible moments to the largest possible audience and building on our commitment to become the global home of football.”
Earlier this month, LaLiga announced the distribution of its media rights in the UK and Ireland, with OTT heavyweight Disney+ joining incumbent rightsholder Premier Sports as part of the competition’s broadcast mix for the upcoming cycle.
The three-year deal will see Disney showcase one game per gameweek (Saturday evenings) exclusively throughout the season, while Premier Sports will continue as the competition’s primary broadcaster in the market, showing the remainder of the domestic fixtures, over 340 per season, on its own linear and OTT platforms.
Disney replaces UK commercial broadcaster ITV, which had shown a handful of games each year over the past three campaigns.
Today, meanwhile, pay-TV heavyweight Sky has also unveiled a deal for LaLiga highlights in the UK, in a three-season deal running through the 2027-28 campaign.
Sky Sports will show match highlights from each game, as well as "live in-game action and the best moments from each match round."
The Spanish league will contain multiple high-profile England national team players this coming season – that number includes Jude Bellingham, Conor Gallagher, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Marcus Rashford.
