DAZN is expanding to more than 200 countries and territories in 2020.
And the leading global sports streaming service is celebrating that feat with its first global event — Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez’s fight during Cinco de Mayo Weekend on Saturday, May 2, live on DAZN. Alvarez's opponent has yet to be announced.

The first phase of DAZN’s global expansion will be an English-language service honed in on boxing. With DAZN holding international rights to promotional companies such as Golden Boy Promotions, Matchroom Boxing USA and GGG Promotions, fighters including Alvarez and Gennadiy “GGG” Golovkin will be part of its year-round offering of premium live fights and original programming.
That original programming includes "40 Days," its behind-the-scenes documentary series, "The Making Of" and "One Night."

To date, DAZN has debuted services in nine countries across four continents. Those countries include: Austria, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the United States. And now, an expansion touching many more countries.
“This is just the beginning," promised DAZN EVP Joseph Markowski, who will oversee the global service. "In phase one, we’ll stage major boxing events around the world to attract fans to our service and then add more sports as those opportunities arise.”
Added DAZN Group executive chairman John Skipper: “Beginning this spring, most of the world will have access to DAZN and its unmatched schedule of boxing events. Our roster of championship fighters represents some of the world’s most popular athletes and we’ll be working with them to stage spectacular international events for years to come.”
The DAZN app will be available globally on most internet-connected devices, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, PCs, and living room devices such as smart TVs, streaming sticks and game consoles.
Pricing by market will be announced in the coming weeks. For users outside of DAZN’s existing markets, registration to the DAZN beta community is open at DAZN.com. Official invites will be sent out later this month.
