The DAZN Era: New Risks and Less Money in Uncertain TimesĭAZN’s winning bid will see the new broadcaster hand over €840 million per season for the next three seasons, for the right to hold Lot 1 (seven exclusively live games per matchday round) and Lot 3 (three jointly broadcast games per matchday round) of the total 3 lots of matches on offer at this year’s TV rights auction.

DAZN has finally clinched the majority vote to broadcast every single Serie A game from 2021 to 2024 after 16 out of 20 Lega Serie A clubs voted in favor of accepting the new broadcaster’s offer.
