DAZN (/dəˈzoʊn/; pronounced "da zone") is a British over-the-top sports streaming and entertainment platform.[2] Founded in 2007 as Perform Group via the merger of Premium TV Limited and Inform Group, it is owned by Access Industries, the investment group founded by Sir Len Blavatnik, and is headquartered in London, England.[3] Shay Segev is DAZN's CEO as of January 2021.[4] The non-executive directors are Lincoln Benet, John Gleasure and Guillaume D’Hauteville.[5]
The DAZN platform was founded in 2015 and broadcasts live and on-demand sport in over 200 countries worldwide with a strong domestic presence in Italy, Spain, Germany, Japan, France, Portugal, Belgium, Taiwan, the United States and Canada, where it has key domestic broadcast rights.[6] It is considered to be Europe's largest digital sports broadcaster with over 75 programming rights.[7][8][9][10] As of 2023,[update] the service has 20 million paid subscribers globally.[6]
Outside of streaming, DAZN has since expanded into in-play betting, gaming, e-commerce, merchandise and ticketing with being originally involved in content distribution, subscription, advertising and sponsorship, and technology and production and also owns a significant minority stake in the leading football portal Goal after TPG's Integrated Media Company (IMC) acquired a majority stake in 2020.[6]
