Ruffian Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I created this thread to continue DAZN international soccer discussion to separate from CPL TV contract. Fussball_eh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) Line Up looks....promising but kind of meh. While I'm surprised they didn't nab any other big 4, they did get ATP 250 and WTA (which is a decent counter). Curious what Serie A, La Liga and Ligue 1 they'll have but am sure all will draw decently and EFL will too. Pro12, MotoGP and KHL will be interesting while darts and FIBA are kind of duds. I'd say it's enough to just pass beIN in terms of content but not really enough for a casual fan to pay for it (same issue beIN has). NFL should be enough to get bars on board with it and I'm sure the soccer, Euro rugby and Russian hockey will find their way onto screens in bars across the nation. I'm sure they'll add more very soon. There seems to be a real lack of CanCon (shocked there's no curling or any winter sports for that matter that aren't KHL) so maybe they're on the hunt and the CPL will find itself at home. NOTE: The CPL official account started following DAZN Canada right away on Twitter and does not follow beIN, TSN (it follows MLS on TSN but not TSN), Sportsnet, CBC, TLN, Game TV or any other network. Take from this what you will. Edited July 28, 2017 by matty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffian Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 They added more games. They have every game for the opening weekend of League 1. They have every game for the opening weekend of Serie A (Aug 19-21). Only 4 games of the opening weekend in English Championship. No La Liga games yet. That is BeIN's bread and butter and might not be willing to sublease these rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would there be curling? I mean TSN's deal with Curling Canada and Sportsnet pretty much owns the slams. So, I'm not shocked at all of them not having curling. I don't know about winter sports' rights, but they would need to acquire something from them and even if they acquire them who wants to watch them?

Not sure of the rights fully either but there is a sizable cult fanbase for them, skiing and snowboarding have noticeable mainstream appeal. While I'm doubtful they'd get something big like Winter X-Games (who's TV deal in Canada might be dead) there are a ton of major competitions out there that people do follow.

mpg_29 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Not sure if they would get curling. Though there are a lot of sports that you only really see in the olympics every 4 years even though there are world championships every year...ie skiiing, track and field(I think beIN has Diamnond League), swimming...I think CBC shows these sports sometimes but not live. Have to imagine you could get the rights to those fairly easy. matty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to imagine you could get the rights to those fairly easy. I recall there were issues this year getting the Winter X-Games on TSN (I think they were relegated to TSN Go for select events) and a few of the better known companies we deal with at my work (I work in ski and board sales in the winter) were trying to find alternatives to have their product shown off. I'm sure if DAZN is truly rockin they'd be able to get special event rights with ease. Edited July 29, 2017 by matty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffian Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 So looks like most of the content is showing now. Looks like it will have every Serie A game live and on demand! Most La Liga games (Real Madrid is noticeably absent). All League 1 games. Half Championship games. ironcub14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you share a picture or a screenshot, if you're kind enough and have time to spare? Cheers. And what devices will you be watching it from mostly?

Yea saw a lot of complaints about the Japanese and German versions. Japan sounded more glitchy. It's rating on the Google app store is only 3.1/5, for comparison Sportsnet has a 3.7, TSN Go has 2.7 and beIN has a 4.4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnkelDal Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 A lot of complaints on their android app. I'll see for myself soon. Been keeping an eye on DAZN since they first announced it was going to be launched in Canada. Wish they could somehow have the Premier League, but can't go wrong with CL, Europa & La Liga etc...

Next three are the Serie A first round. Second round is loaded also. ironcub14 and Juan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Android TV app seems to work really well. There has been some loading during live games but that may be because I signed up before the official release and they may have been working on the server scaling. It may also be my internet as I have seen loading on Netflix lately also. Maybe time to upgrade from the basic internet package. 12 hours ago, OnkelDal said: Wish they could somehow have the Premier League, but can't go wrong with CL, Europa & La Liga etc...

Just noticed that after I signed up. Seems to load fine so far. I originally read they'd have it. Hopefully not listed cause no games confirmed. Time will tell. Surprised they have J-League though.

red card Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I see many mentioned DAZN has this and that league but it isn't clear to me if this is actually available in Canada. I have only heard they have all NFL games. Otherwise, their Canadian website only shows logos for KHL, ATP 250 (5th tier), WTA and darts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why the site changed but they have announced La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1 and the EFL are on it. Also just to make something clear ATP 250 isn't 5th tier in terms of skills, it's 5th in terms of prestige and prize money. All top players play in 250 tournaments.

mpg_29 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 seems DAZN has updated to show what their lineup is... https://www.dazn.com/en-CA Seems very similar to what beIN offers...minus the NFL...curious which games they will show.. Question remains for me is...the rights for some of these big soccer leagues in Europe seem to based around clubs not the leagues themselves...in other words will you be able to watch the games including any of the the big clubs?... ironcub14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed the one game I've watched because watching a Chinese team play a Kazakhstani team in Russian uniforms with mostly North American players and 12 fans in the stands is bizarre, but I wouldn't say it's good hockey.
