Eurosport 1 HD and Eurosport 2 HD are to be made available to DAZN subscribers in Austria, Germany, Italy and Spain after the streaming service struck a distribution deal with Eurosport owners Discovery.

The deal gives DAZN access to Eurosport’s UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, Premier League, LaLiga, Serie A, Ligue 1, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, Matchroom and Golden Boy boxing coverage.

In addition, DAZN has exclusively sublicensed 45 Bundesliga matches from Discovery in Germany and Austria.

The deal excludes Eurosport Player which remains the only place to watch all Eurosport content, including features and feeds not available to TV viewers, live and on-demand on all screens.

John Gleasure, Chief Business Development Officer at DAZN Group, said: “This is an exciting agreement that brings Eurosport’s incredible sports content to our subscribers, and delivers 45 Bundesliga matches to the DAZN service in Germany and Austria under a two-season exclusive sublicensing agreement.

“This deal underlines our commitment to providing the biggest and best sports action to fans in an accessible and affordable way, while rewarding rights holders for integrating their content on our market leading platform.

“We look forward to developing our partnership with Discovery.”

James Gibbons, in his role as Head of Commercial Development for EMEA at Discovery, said: “We are delighted to enter this partnership that expands the distribution of Eurosport’s channels in four European markets.

“We always look for new partners that help get our brands and content to more fans. In parallel, we will continue to develop and market our all access multi-sport OTT service – Eurosport Player – for fans who want a deeper experience.”

The BBC has promised “extensive coverage of every game from grounds throughout England across TV, radio and online,” after securing exclusive UK rights to the UEFA Women’s Euro 2021 competition.

News of the deal follows the BBC’s coverage of the record-breaking FIFA World Cup 2019 in France, which saw England reach the semi-finals and drew a peak TV audience of 11.7m.

Director of BBC Sport, Barbara Slater said: “After the success of the World Cup on the BBC and the record-breaking viewing figures for women’s football, we’re delighted to be the broadcaster of the UEFA Women’s Euro 2021.

“At the start of this summer we wanted to shift the dial on women’s football and I feel the phenomenal coverage from France has done just that. The BBC’s sport portfolio continues to go from strength to strength and we’re thrilled to add the 2021 Euros to that.”

Guy-Laurent Epstein, UEFA Marketing Director, added: “UEFA is delighted to partner with the BBC for the UEFA Women’s EURO in 2021, which takes place in the United Kingdom.

“The BBC will provide an unprecedented level of coverage for the competition in the host country, ensuring that the women’s game is brought to the rapidly increasing fan base in an outstanding manner.”
