That is going live any time.<\/p>\n Canucks Report<\/p>\n Thanks for signing up!<\/p>\n Article content<\/p>\n Advertisement 3<\/p>\n This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.<\/p>\n Article content<\/p>\n And the opposite is true \u2014 and indeed has been true for at least a week \u2014 if you are a DAZN subscriber, you can get EPL matches there again, by adding the Fubo sports option. DAZN previously held the rights to EPL but lost them to Fubo beginning in 2022.<\/p>\n Fubo subscribers will now be able to add DAZN\u2019s \u201cpremium\u201d services inside the Fubo app, like the NFL, rugby and boxing on top of DAZN\u2019s soccer rights. (DAZN\u2019s pay per view events, like big-tent boxing nights, are not part of the Fubo deal.)<\/p>\n This deal with Fubo has prompted DAZN to reset how you can subscribe to their service; previously their premium service gave you across the board access to their various feeds, including NFL Game Pass, UEFA club competitions like the Champions League, and more.<\/p>\n Advertisement 4<\/p>\n This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.<\/p>\n Article content<\/p>\n DAZN now has three different packages: a basic subscription which gets you NFL, Champions League, Budesliga and more, basically what you\u2019ve always had; second a \u201cDAZN+\u201d package, which adds on the Fubo rights, including EPL and Serie A; third a package called DAZN Soccer, which only includes the soccer rights.<\/p>\n Long-standing users of Fubo know that their service is more than just a soccer streamer: they\u2019ve got MLB as well, plus CBC channels, One Soccer, beIN Sports and more. Adding more soccer, adding the NFL, is an exciting thing said Ben Grad, Fubo\u2019s Senior Vice-President, Strategic Partnerships and Operations.<\/p>\n \u201cWe were already the home of soccer in Canada, and it makes that even stronger,\u201d Grad said. And so does striking a deal with DAZN to have EPL and Serie A land there too. It\u2019s a chance to put their brand in front of even more customers. Same goes for DAZN on Fubo. It\u2019s all win-win said Grad.<\/p>\n Advertisement 5<\/p>\n This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.<\/p>\n Article content<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not something that we\u2019ve decided to distribute broadly,\u201d it\u2019s super premium content,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd I think they\u2019re (DAZN) really excited to enable their customers, or anyone who wants to their platform to have access to that.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019re looking at us \u2014 I don\u2019t want to put words in their mouth \u2014 but I would imagine that, you know they\u2019ve looked at us and how much we\u2019ve been able to grow our own offering in Canada in just a few short years, and seeing like, hey, these guys have been really good at customer acquisition. They have a great content experience. They have some great content on there. It\u2019d be great if we could plug into that and enable that to help grow.\u201d<\/p>\n Add it all up: if you want European soccer, you only need to look to one place, be it DAZN or Fubo \u2026 unless you want La Liga (TSN) or the FA Cup (Sportsnet).<\/p>\n It\u2019s almost like we\u2019re going back to a universe we used to call \u201ccable.\u201d<\/p>\n pjohnston@postmedia.com<\/a><\/p>\n Read More<\/p>\n Photos: Thomas Muller gets a hero’s welcome outside B.C.
