agreement is great news for sports fans in
Spain, with LaLiga soon to join DAZN's accessible and
affordable line-up of premium sports.
DAZN consolidates its position in the Spanish market thanks to

strategic local investment for us in a key market, and is all part
of the global momentum that we are driving across our business,
which continues at pace. This is further proof that we are well

on linear pay TV, to streaming services."

will be able to enjoy Copa del Rey
and some of the best international soccer competitions, such as the
Premier League, UWCL, Copa Libertadores, Copa Sudamericana, FA Cup,
Carabao Cup or MLS. But DAZN is not just about soccer. Users in
