Dazn locks in exclusive option for 2029 Club World Cup global streaming rights in expanded Fifa deal

Dazn has secured an exclusive option for global streaming rights to the 2029 men's Club World Cup, deepening its partnership with Fifa. The Saudi Arabia-backed streaming service previously paid $1 billion for worldwide rights to the 2025 tournament, stepping in after traditional broadcasters and other platforms declined to bid. That inaugural 32-team event in the United States marked a major expansion of the competition. The new option signals Dazn's long-term commitment to football's global club showcase and gives Fifa a reliable digital partner for future editions. With this move, Dazn positions itself as the go-to streaming home for Fifa's marquee club event, potentially shaping how fans worldwide access top-tier football in the next cycle.
