DAZN has renewed its long-running partnership with Matchroom Boxing for a further five years in the UK and the United States, locking in a year-round schedule of more than 30 Matchroom shows globally per year alongside additional original programming.
The agreement is another illistration of how DAZN is leaning on combat sports to drive subscriber retention and engagement in its core markets, while also using its wider platform footprint to widen distribution. As part of the announcement, Matchroom also struck a separate deal with DAZN-owned Foxtel Group in Australia, bringing 7 major Matchroom events to Kayo Sports and Foxtel during 2026.
Shay Segev, DAZN Group CEO, said: “Our new five-year deal with Matchroom Boxing builds on the success of our longstanding partnership and reaffirms DAZN as the global home of boxing. Matchroom Boxing trusts DAZN to deliver the best experiences for the biggest fights for boxing fans everywhere. Together, we’ll continue to raise the bar.”
For DAZN, the renewal consolidates its positioning as a primary global streaming home for boxing content, combining live rights with behind-the-scenes programming designed to keep fans engaged between fight nights. The company says the schedule will include a steady pipeline of premium Matchroom events in both the UK and the United States, reinforcing DAZN’s role in distributing top-tier boxing at scale.
In Australia, the Kayo Sports arrangement is a notable operational add-on following DAZN’s completion of its Foxtel Group acquisition in April 2025, giving DAZN an established subscription and streaming distribution engine in-market. The Matchroom deal strengthens Kayo’s boxing proposition and adds international fight nights into the service’s 2026 sports slate, at a time when Foxtel continues to position Kayo as its flagship streaming brand for live sport.
