DAZN Spain, the regional arm of the international sports streaming platform, has strengthened its basketball offering by adding North America’s NBA to its recently secured domestic league rights.
The two-year period will see DAZN air a selection of regular-season games, as well as playoffs, conference finals, the All-Star Game, and the NBA Finals from the upcoming 2025-26 season, which starts on October 22, through the 2026-27 season.
The broadcast rights to the NBA in the country were previously held by Telefonica-owned pay-TV network Movistar for more than three decades.
It is the second set of basketball rights DAZN has taken off Movistar this year after the streamer secured a new domestic rights deal with Spain's top-flight Liga ACB.
That three-year deal, signed in July, covers every round of Liga Endesa from 2025-26 to 2027-28, including post-season playoffs and league-ending finals, as well as the season-opening Supercopa match and Copa del Rey knockout competition.
DAZN Spain said the new NBA rights will be included in its basketball offering, which costs €9.99 ($11.75) per month. It will also feature in the platform’s ‘Made in USA’ plan that also includes American football’s NFL and stock car racing’s Nascar for €4.99 per month.
Along with basketball and its American sports rights, DAZN’s premium package (€31.99 per month) also includes access to a range of soccer competitions, including five matches of 35 rounds of Spain’s top-tier LaLiga and the entire second-tier Hypermotion, England’s Premier League, Italy’s Serie A, Germany’s Bundesliga, and France’s Liga F, as well as motor racing’s Formula 1, MotoGP, and WorldSBK.
The deal comes as the NBA prepares to enter its new domestic rights cycle, having confirmed a lucrative 11-year deal with media giants Disney, NBCUniversal, and Amazon starting with the upcoming 2025-26 season and running through the 2035-36 campaign.
That deal marks the end of its relationship of almost four decades with fellow media giant Warner Bros. Discovery’s Turner Sports, which expired following the 2024-25 season.
