The UEFA Women’s Champions League is set to be taken to a whole new level after leading streaming network DAZN has just acquired global rights to broadcast for the next four seasons, from 2021-25.
As part of the landmark agreement, DAZN has also entered into a groundbreaking partnership with YouTube that will make the competition free to view for billions of fans around the world for the first time ever.
For the first two seasons (2021-23), fans will be able to watch live and on demand all 61 matches from the group stage onwards on DAZN and free on DAZN’s YouTube channel. For the last two seasons (2023-25), all 61 matches will be live on DAZN while 19 matches will be made available for free on DAZN’s YouTube channel.
This trailblazing move marks the first time UEFA has centralised all Women’s Champions League matches globally as well as elevating the fan viewing experience, including more behind-the-scenes access than ever before.
Ada Hegerberg, All-Time Highest Scorer in UEFA Women’s Champions League and Olympique Lyonnais Star: “I am beyond excited for this partnership. For years, people have struggled to have access to our games, wherever they were living. Now, they have the unique opportunity to watch all over the world if they’d like to. The game is opening up to millions, potentially billions, which is unprecedented. This is a game-changing partnership that is only right for the biggest club competition in women’s football. We are finally being given something we’ve asked for a long time. It’s about time women’s football got this kind of exposure!”
DAZN, YouTube, and UEFA lay out long-term vision for taking women’s football to the next level with “We All Rise With More Eyes” campaign directed by multi-award winner Alyssa Boni and voiced over by UK rapper FLOHIO.
