DAZN confirms that it will launch its app via Sky this year.

DAZN has confirmed plans to launch its app via Sky Q, Sky Glass and Sky Stream in the UK and Ireland early this year.

The sports streaming service launched its first linear TV channel in the UK and Ireland via Sky last year, with subscribers also able to access the full range of additional content through its website and app.

The broadcaster holds rights to a number of properties, including all of Anthony Joshua's fights, the Women's Champions League and the Saudi Pro League, as well as the NFL Game Pass.

Via the app, subscribers can also watch live streams of the NFL Network channel, Red Bull TV and a global sports channel called Unbeaten.

Shay Segev, chief exec of DAZN Group, said: "This is excellent news for both DAZN and Sky customers. It makes it even easier to access the DAZN app in the UK and Ireland, with all the great boxing and combat sports that we are so well-known for, as well as top-level women's football, the Saudi Pro League, not forgetting the NFL Game Pass, and much more.

"DAZN's distribution strategy is to be as accessible to as many sports fans as possible, and Sky's great technology through Sky Q, Sky Glass and Sky Stream, will help us get into more homes across the UK and Ireland, so even more people can discover the sports entertainment universe we are working hard to create."

DAZN currently costs £9.99/€9.99 a month, with the NFL Game Pass available as an add-on for £150.99 per season.

The broadcaster also intends to launch a free offering via the DAZN App in the UK and Ireland early this year.
