DAZN Canada, the popular sports streaming service, has inked an 11th-hour deal with Bundesliga International to extend its rights partnership for two more seasons. This move comes just in time for the season opener and is set to provide Canadian soccer fans with comprehensive coverage of all top-tier Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga matches.
The extension will allow DAZN subscribers in Canada to gain access to every match from Germany's premier leagues - the Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga - as well as the Supercup curtain raiser through the 2027-28 season. The deal also includes highlights, ensuring that fans won't miss a moment of action.
Deidra Dionna, DAZN Canada vice president, said:
“We’re thrilled to extend our partnership with the Bundesliga and continue bringing world-class German soccer to fans across Canada. With full access to every Bundesliga match and Franz Beckenbauer Supercup—as well as top-tier Bundesliga 2 action—we’re proud to deliver unmatched coverage and storytelling across all our platforms. And with Canadian star Alphonso Davies poised for a big return, there's never been a more exciting time for fans to tune in.”
Capitalizing on Alphonso Davies' presence
Alphonso Davies' rise in German football has been meteoric. His performances for Bayern Munich have not only helped his team retain their title but have also put him firmly on the map as one of football's rising stars.
With this new agreement, DAZN aims to leverage his popularity among Canadian fans by providing extensive coverage of his games. Furthermore, Davies is expected to play a key role when Canada co-hosts the FIFA World Cup alongside Mexico and US in 2026.
Building upon current agreement
The recent extension is a continuation of an existing agreement between DAZN and Bundesliga International, which spans from the 2023-24 season to the 2025-26 season. This current arrangement ensures that at least six live matches are broadcasted each week, providing fans with ample live action.
In addition to this, it offers a wide range of shoulder programming for comprehensive coverage. The agreement also includes coverage of the second-tier league, 2.Bundesliga, ensuring fans can follow all levels of German football. Notably, it features broadcasts of the German Supercup curtain raiser and covers post-season relegation playoffs as well - key events in the football calendar that draw significant viewer interest.
This comprehensive coverage ensures that Canadian soccer fans have access to all the action from one of the world's most competitive leagues. With this extension, DAZN Canada continues to solidify its position as a go-to destination for sports fans and sports betting enthusiasts alike.
