Dazn secures exclusive deal on global streaming rights for 2029 Club World Cup
According to the Guardian, the Saudi-backed streaming company Dazn has secured an exclusive option for global streaming rights for the 2029 men’s Club World Cup, deepening its partnership with Fifa. Dazn previously paid $1bn for the 2025 tournament rights after other broadcasters declined to bid. Despite Dazn being a loss-making business, it continues to invest heavily in sports rights. Meanwhile, planning for the 2029 tournament remains complex due to political issues and tensions between Fifa and the European Football Clubs (EFC) association. Morocco is considered a frontrunner to host the 2029 event.
