The DAZN app launches on Sky in the UK and Ireland for Sky Q, Sky Glass and Sky Stream customers.

DAZN has launched its app via Sky in the UK and Ireland, making the service available to Sky Q, Sky Glass and Sky Stream customers.

In March 2023 the broadcaster launched a premium linear channel, DAZN 1, on Sky, which also gives paying customers access to additional streams, content and an on-demand library through the DAZN app.

Last year DAZN launched its first free offering through the app, giving users access to around 15 FAST channels and selected content with adverts attached.

The news of the launch on Sky means that users can now access content through their DAZN login - either the full premium service or the free content, while both types of user can also purchase individual PPV events through the app.

"This is excellent news for both DAZN and Sky customers," said Shay Segev, group CEO at DAZN. "It makes it even easier to access the DAZN app in the UK and Ireland.

"We are the global home of boxing - more than 150 fights across 2024 alone – and combat sports, and women's football as well as the Saudi Pro League, Ironman and much more. The app is live on Sky for our boxing PPV mega-event, 5 vs 5, which sees the best fighters from Matchroom and Queensbury going head-to-head.

"DAZN is growing rapidly and constantly investing in new content and technology, so it's the perfect time for our service to be available in app form across Sky devices.

"DAZN's distribution strategy is to be as accessible to as many sports fans as possible, and Sky's great technology through Sky Q, Sky Glass and Sky Stream, will help us get into more homes across the UK and Ireland, so even more people can discover the sports entertainment universe we are creating."

A premium DAZN subscription currently costs £9.99 a month or £99.99 a year in the UK - and €9.99 a month or €99 a year in Ireland.
