DAZN, the global sports streaming giant, has officially announced its entry into the aviation and maritime broadcast markets with the upcoming launch of DAZN Inflight. Set to debut in 2027, the service aims to provide live sports to travelers on airlines and cruise ships, expanding DAZN’s reach beyond its existing 200 terrestrial markets.
The new division will be spearheaded by Aviv Giladi, President of DAZN Partnerships. This expansion comes at a time of increased competition in the “sky-high” broadcasting sector, which has been dominated by IMG’s Sport 24 since 2012. Early reports suggest DAZN has already secured a significant win by becoming the preferred bidder for UEFA club competition rights for in-flight and in-ship broadcast—a contract previously held by Sport 24.
