Streaming service DAZN gets Canadian rights to UEFA Champions League
TORONTO — Canadian TV rights for UEFA Champions League soccer are headed to the sports streaming service DAZN.
DAZN (pronounced Da Zone) says the rights deal covers three years, starting with the 2018-19 European club championship season.
“It’s exclusive broadcast rights for every single round, every single game for both the Champions League and Europa League,” DAZN CEO James Rushton said from England. “We have no intention of licensing any of it.”
Champions League games in Canada have been shown on TSN, Sportsnet and beIN Sports in recent years.
