DAZN has inked an international distribution agreement with Fox Corporation’s sports unit to distribute college games from the Big Ten Network and Fox Sports to fans outside the United States.
Under the multi-year deal announced Friday, DAZN will stream all regular season Big Ten football games along with the 2025 Discover Big Ten Football Championship. The agreement also covers men’s and women’s basketball games from the Big Ten, plus a 24-hour Big Ten Network feed featuring highlights, shoulder programming, and other related content.
The deal further grants DAZN the rights to Fox Sports’ presentation of college football and basketball from the Big 12, Big East and Mountain West conferences, allowing the streaming service to expand its coverage of major collegiate sports worldwide.
With this agreement, DAZN now holds international rights to content from the Big Ten, Southeastern, Big 12, Big East, Mountain West, and Atlantic Coast conferences, representing the largest collegiate athletic programs in the United States. The expansion strengthens DAZN’s global sports offering, which already includes NFL Game Pass and NHL.TV for viewers outside the U.S.
“DAZN’s agreement with Fox Sports and the Big Ten Network builds on our recently expanded college sports portfolio and reinforces our ambition to be the global home of U.S. sports,” said Shay Segev, the CEO of DAZN Group. “From NFL Game Pass and NHL.TV to college football and basketball, DAZN is supporting leagues’ ambitions in reaching more fans, while delivering an unparalleled entertainment experience and expanding access to the best of U.S. sports to fans around the world.”
DAZN said most college games covered under the deal will be exclusive to its platform and will be available free-to-view for a limited time.
The London-based sports streamer operates in more than 200 international territories and markets. The addition of top-tier college football and basketball from the Big Ten and Fox Sports networks adds to DAZN’s expanding content library that caters to fans of U.S. leagues across the globe; in other parts of the world, DAZN offers top tier American sports like National Hockey League (NHL) and National Football League (NFL) games, among others.
