DAZN has become one of the go-to streaming services for fight fans, especially those looking to watch major boxing events, MMA cards and combat sports programming without a traditional cable package.

The platform has carried some of the biggest boxing moments of the streaming era, from Andy Ruiz Jr.’s stunning upset of Anthony Joshua to the Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennady Golovkin trilogy. It has also leaned into the changing shape of the sport, adding crossover events featuring names like Logan Paul, KSI and other social media-driven fighters.

But DAZN is not just a boxing app. Depending on your location and subscription plan, the service can also include live sports, original shows, documentaries, fight replays and pay-per-view events.

For fans trying to figure out whether DAZN is worth it, the first step is understanding what the service offers, how much it costs and which subscription option makes the most sense. Here is a full guide to DAZN, including how it works, what you can watch and the plans currently available.

What is DAZN?

DAZN is a sports streaming service that gives fans access to live and on-demand events without needing a traditional cable subscription. Available in more than 200 countries and territories, DAZN has become best known for its combat sports coverage, especially boxing, MMA and pay-per-view fight nights.

Subscribers can use DAZN to watch live events, replays, original programming, documentaries, highlights and shoulder content around some of the biggest names in sports. For boxing fans, that can include major title fights, undercard bouts, press conferences, weigh-ins and archived fight coverage. Depending on the country and subscription plan, DAZN may also carry other live sports, including soccer, basketball, football, motorsports, wrestling and more.

One of DAZN’s biggest selling points is convenience. Instead of relying on a cable package or satellite provider, fans can stream DAZN through the app on smart TVs, phones, tablets, computers and connected devices. That makes it easier to watch fights and live sports at home or on the go.

DAZN’s content library and pricing can vary by location, so the exact events, leagues and subscription options available may depend on where a fan is watching from. Still, the platform is designed to be a flexible streaming home for sports fans who want access to live events, on-demand replays and premium fight content in one place.

DAZN subscription plans, prices

DAZN offers multiple subscription options for U.S. customers, giving fans different ways to watch live and on-demand sports depending on how often they plan to use the service.

A standard DAZN subscription includes access to the platform’s regular live events, replays, highlights, original programming and on-demand content. However, some major boxing cards and special events may still be offered as pay-per-view purchases, meaning subscribers may need to pay an additional fee to watch select events. DAZN notes that pay-per-view events can only be streamed on one device in one location, regardless of the standard subscription plan.

DAZN also offers DAZN Ultimate, a premium subscription tier that includes pay-per-view events as part of the plan. That option is designed for fans who expect to buy multiple PPV events throughout the year.

Here is a breakdown of the current DAZN subscription options for U.S. customers:

Annual — Pay Monthly ($20.99 per month)

The Annual Pay Monthly plan is built for fans who plan to watch DAZN throughout the year but want to pay in monthly installments instead of one upfront payment.

• Costs $20.99 per month
• Requires a 12-month annual contract
• Payment is charged monthly
• Can be canceled at the end of the 12-month period
• Allows streaming on two devices
• Includes two concurrent streams
• Has no IP address limit

This plan is best for regular DAZN viewers who want a lower monthly price and are comfortable committing to a full year.

Annual — Pay Upfront ($224.99 upfront)

The Annual Pay Upfront plan is another 12-month option, but instead of monthly payments, subscribers pay for the full year at the start of the subscription.

• Costs $224.99 upfront
• Requires a 12-month annual contract
• Payment is charged upfront
• Can be canceled at the end of the 12-month period
• Allows streaming on two devices
• Includes two concurrent streams
• Has no IP address limit

This plan may make sense for fans who know they will use DAZN all year and prefer paying for the subscription in one payment.

Monthly ($30.99 per month)

The Monthly plan is DAZN’s most flexible standard subscription option. It costs more per month than the annual plans, but it does not require a full-year commitment.

• Costs $30.99 per month
• Runs on a rolling monthly contract
• Payment is charged monthly
• Allows streaming on one device
• Includes one concurrent stream
• Has a one IP address limit
• DAZN notes that a pro-rata fee applies upon cancellation

This plan is best for fans who only want DAZN for a specific fight, short stretch of events or limited sports calendar window.

DAZN Ultimate ($44.99 per month or $449.99 per year)

DAZN Ultimate is the premium option for U.S. subscribers who want pay-per-view events included with their subscription instead of buying them individually.

• Costs $44.99 per month with an annual installment plan
• Costs $449.99 per year with the annual upfront option
• Includes DAZN’s regular content library
• Includes 12 or more pay-per-view events per year
• Includes access to boxing, fight replays, behind-the-scenes content and the DAZN fight archive
• Allows streaming on up to two devices simultaneously on one IP address
• PPV streaming is still restricted to one device at a time
• Includes offline downloads, though PPV fights are excluded from immediate download and become available later

DAZN Ultimate is the better value for fans who regularly purchase boxing PPVs or expect to watch several premium fight cards throughout the year. Fans who only want occasional access may be better off choosing a standard DAZN plan and purchasing PPV events separately when needed.

DAZN pay-per-view cost

The cost of a DAZN pay-per-view event depends on the fight, athletes, promotion and location of the viewer. In the United States, DAZN says PPV prices can vary from event to event, but a typical DAZN PPV costs $69.99.

That price is separate from DAZN’s standard monthly or annual subscription plans. A regular DAZN subscription gives fans access to the platform’s live and on-demand content, but select major boxing cards and premium events may still require an additional PPV purchase.

Here’s what fans should know before buying a DAZN PPV:

• DAZN PPV prices vary by event: Bigger fights, title bouts and major crossover events may carry different prices.
• Standard DAZN subscribers may still pay extra: A regular subscription does not automatically include every PPV event.
• New customers can buy a PPV while signing up: DAZN says PPV events are available to customers with a DAZN subscription, but new customers can add the PPV purchase during the sign-up process.
• Some PPV purchases may include a trial: DAZN says new customers who purchase a PPV event may qualify for a 7-day free trial of the full DAZN platform. If the trial is not canceled before it ends, the account rolls into a paid monthly subscription.
• PPV access is time-limited: DAZN says PPV events are available to watch live and on demand for seven days after they go live.
• Device rules may differ: DAZN says PPV streaming can be more restricted than standard subscription streaming, so fans should check the event page before ordering.

DAZN also offers DAZN Ultimate, a higher-priced subscription tier that includes at least 12 pay-per-view events per year. That plan may make more sense for boxing fans who expect to buy multiple PPV events, while casual viewers may prefer a standard DAZN subscription and only purchase individual PPVs when needed.

What sports are available to watch on DAZN?

DAZN’s sports lineup depends on where you are watching, but in the United States, the service is best known as a home for boxing, MMA, soccer and international basketball.

Combat sports remain one of DAZN’s biggest selling points. U.S. subscribers can watch boxing coverage, including live fight cards, pay-per-view events, full-fight replays, highlights, shoulder programming and original shows. DAZN’s U.S. platform also lists MMA, BKFC, Misfits Boxing, kickboxing and Muay Thai among its combat sports offerings.

DAZN also carries soccer content in the U.S., with its platform listing competitions and programming such as UEFA Champions League, FIFA Club World Cup, Lega Serie A, LaLiga, Rally TV and other soccer-related shows and highlights, though availability can vary by event and package.

Basketball fans can access Courtside 1891 through DAZN, which offers live and on-demand FIBA basketball coverage. That can include international tournaments, Basketball Champions League games, FIBA World Cup qualifiers, FIBA women’s competitions, highlights and full-game replays.

DAZN’s U.S. sports offering may also include a mix of additional live and on-demand content across categories such as women’s sports, motorsports, esports, tennis, golf, padel, chess, equestrian, athletics, horse racing and live TV channels, depending on the current schedule and subscription access.

Outside of the United States, DAZN’s live sports rights can look very different. In Canada, for example, DAZN lists NFL Game Pass and a deeper soccer lineup that includes Premier League, UEFA Champions League, Bundesliga, EFL Championship, Carabao Cup and more.

Because DAZN’s rights vary by country, the best way for fans to know exactly what they can watch is to check the DAZN schedule in their region before signing up. A DAZN subscription in one country may not include the same leagues, events or pay-per-view options available in another market.

Does DAZN have a free trial?

DAZN does not always offer a traditional standalone free trial for every new U.S. customer, so fans should check the offer presented during sign-up before creating an account. However, DAZN currently says new customers who purchase a pay-per-view event may qualify for a seven-day free trial of DAZN Standard as part of the sign-up process.

That means a new customer can buy a DAZN PPV event and also receive temporary access to DAZN’s regular subscription content, including live events, replays, shows, documentaries and other on-demand programming available with the plan. DAZN says the seven-day trial begins immediately after the PPV purchase.

Here’s what U.S. customers should know:

• The free trial is tied to a PPV purchase: DAZN says customers who buy a PPV event during sign-up may receive seven days of access to DAZN Standard.
• You still pay for the PPV: The trial applies to the subscription portion, not the cost of the pay-per-view event.
• The trial starts right away: The seven-day window begins after the PPV purchase is completed.
• The subscription renews if you do not cancel: If the trial is not canceled before it ends, DAZN says the account rolls into a paid monthly subscription plan.
• You can cancel during the trial: DAZN says customers can cancel the seven-day free trial through the “My Account” section.
• PPV access is separate from the trial: DAZN says pay-per-view events are available live and on demand for seven days after the event goes live.

For fans who only want to watch a specific fight, the safest move is to review the checkout page carefully before purchasing. DAZN’s free-trial offers, subscription terms and renewal prices can change, and the exact details will be shown during the sign-up process.

How do I sign up for DAZN?

Signing up for DAZN is a straightforward process, but fans should take a few minutes to compare the available plans before creating an account. DAZN’s subscription options, prices and pay-per-view availability can vary, so the plan that makes the most sense may depend on whether you want year-round access or only need the service for one specific fight or event.

Here’s how to sign up for DAZN:

1. Go to the DAZN website or open the DAZN app.
   Visit DAZN on your browser or download the DAZN app on your preferred device, including a smart TV, phone, tablet or streaming device.
2. Select your location, if prompted.
   DAZN’s content and prices can vary by country, so make sure you are viewing the correct version of the service for your region.
3. Choose your preferred DAZN plan.
   Pick the subscription option that works best for you. U.S. customers may see monthly, annual or pay-upfront options, while major pay-per-view events may require an additional purchase.
4. Create your DAZN account.
   Enter the required information, including your name, email address and password. Make sure to use an email address you can access, since DAZN may send account details, receipts or event information there.
5. Enter your payment information.
   DAZN accepts several payment methods, which may include credit card, debit card, PayPal or gift code, depending on your location and how you sign up.
6. Review your order before confirming.
   Check the plan, price, billing terms and any pay-per-view purchases before completing sign-up. This is especially important if you are choosing an annual plan or buying a PPV event.
7. Start streaming DAZN content.
   Once your account is active, you can log in and start watching live events, replays, original shows, highlights and on-demand programming available with your subscription.

DAZN pros and cons

Like any streaming service, DAZN is a strong fit for some fans depending on what they want to watch, how often they plan to use it and which sports are available in their region. Here are some helpful pros and cons to consider before signing up.

Pros

• Strong combat sports lineup: DAZN has built a major presence in boxing and combat sports, giving fans access to live fight cards, pay-per-view events, replays, highlights and original programming around some of the biggest names in the sport.
• Multiple plan options: DAZN gives subscribers different ways to sign up, including monthly and annual options. That makes it easier for fans to choose a plan based on whether they want short-term access for a specific event or year-round coverage.
• Live and on-demand viewing: In addition to live events, DAZN offers replays, highlights, documentaries and other on-demand content, which is helpful for fans who cannot watch every event in real time.
• Easy streaming access: DAZN can be streamed through the website or app on many popular devices, including smart TVs, phones, tablets, computers and connected streaming devices.
• Global sports reach: DAZN operates in many countries and territories, so its overall sports catalog is broader than just one league or one sport. Depending on location, fans may find boxing, MMA, soccer, basketball and other live sports available.

Cons

• Content varies by location: DAZN’s sports rights are different from country to country, so the events available to U.S. subscribers may not be the same as what fans can watch in Canada, the United Kingdom or other markets.
• Some events cost extra: A standard DAZN subscription includes plenty of live and on-demand content, but select premium events may still require a separate pay-per-view purchase.
• Device rules may vary: Standard streaming and pay-per-view streaming can have different device or location restrictions, so subscribers should review the terms before fight night if they plan to watch on multiple screens.
