DAZN Secures Movistar Alliance And F1 Rights Acquisition

Max Miller - Broadcast Sport
The deal means that DAZN will be available on the Movistar+ platform

DAZN and Movistar have reached an agreement that sees the former distributed through the Movistar+ platform.

DAZN also acquires the exploitation rights for Formula One World Championship in Spain until 2023, which will be shown on the new DAZN F1 channel on the platform from 1 March.

Movistar’s premium customers and those already with an F1 package will gain access to DAZN and new channels DAZN1 and DAZN2 from 21 January – with additional channels planned to boost coverage. DAZN’s offering includes the Premier League, MotoGP World Championship, Turkish Airlines EuroLeague, Copa del Rey, UFC, CONMEBOL Libertadores, basketball EuroCup, WTA and Coppa Italia.

DAZN will be integrated into the Movistar+ platform alongside the likes of Netflix and Disney+. This joins a number of similar deals by the OTT broadcaster, including Vodafone, Deutsche Telekom and Telefónica O2 in Germany, Vodafone in Italy and KDDI in Japan.

Emilio Gaya, president of Movistar’s parent company, Telefónica España, said: “This agreement with DAZN reinforces our sports offer and will enrich the experience of all sports fans. This relationship reaffirms our commitment to always offer our customers the best content of our own, through our original production and the most relevant content, through the partners who lead the audiovisual industry.”

Co-CEO of DAZN, James Rushton, added: “The agreement with Movistar+ is a great example of how entertainment platforms and operators can collaborate to deliver more satisfying and intuitive viewing experiences for sports fans. It’s also an important moment for the business as we execute on our strategy to drive further growth in our core markets.”

  • The atmosphere at MPTS has been amazing this year. MPTS is definitely one of the industry’s most diverse shows, if not the most diverse, both in terms of attendees and panelists. A huge amount of work goes into making sure that there is equal representation across an extensive conference programme.

  • I think this year 2024 is probably the most innovative, cutting-edge, head-of-the-curve MPTS that I’ve exhibited at so far. I think even compared to last year, attendees really know what they’re looking for when it comes to cloud, AI, virtual production, all of the buzz words, all of the emerging technologies, everyone’s really embraced it.
