DAZN has agreed a two-year deal to air the Women’s Super League and Women’s FA Cup in Spain, Italy, and Japan.

The streaming platform will offer live and on demand access to a minimum of two WSL matches per round and multiple Women’s FA Cup games for free on DAZN’s UEFA Women’s Champions League YouTube channel. This will be available in Albania, the Balkans, Bulgaria, Greece & Cyprus, Hungary, Malta, Romania, Stans (previously CIS), and Turkey, as well as the countries mentioned above.

DAZN has targeted women’s football internationally, and these English competitions join a four-year deal for the Women’s Champions League, a five-year deal with Spain’s Liga F, a global deal with the Women’s International Champions Cup, and an eight-year contract to broadcast WE League in Japan.

DAZN CEO Shay Segev said: “Acquiring the rights to the Women’s Super League and Women’s FA Cup is a long-term investment for DAZN and demonstrates that DAZN is truly the home of sport. It is our mission to grow this audience and provide global access, as we continue to invest in undervalued sports, with a long-term view to build strong commercial propositions that benefit all stakeholders within the ecosystem.

“DAZN is a leader in these key markets and this deal adds to our top-tier domestic football rights and increasing number of global women’s football rights, including our ground-breaking UEFA Women’s Champions League deal and recent Liga F deal.”
