Advanced Television: DAZN partners with EuroLeague Women

Story from Advanced Television:

DAZN, the sports streaming platform, and FIBA Europe have announced DAZN as the global broadcast partner for action from EuroLeague Women this season.

Europe’s top women’s basketball competition, EuroLeague Women, sees 16 clubs from across the continent compete across an autumn-spring league. The format for the competition was recently revamped ahead of the 2024-25 season, with the Regular Season now split into two rounds to bring even more high-stakes action to fans of the league.

Initially competing in four groups of four during the First Round, the bottom-placed sides will exit and move to EuroCup Women, while the other 12 clubs will then continue to the Second Round. Fans will then get to enjoy the introduction of Play-ins and a first ever Final Six, where the eventual champion will be determined.

DAZN will play a role in bringing this new competition to fans around the world as a global broadcast partner for the league. With two EuroLeague Women games per gameday streamed on the platform for free, including a Game of the Week exclusive to DAZN, the global profile of the league will grow as content from the competition reaches more fans.

Hannah Brown, Co-CEO of Women’s Sport at DAZN, commented: “DAZN can offer leagues and federations what no one else can – unparalleled global reach via our digitally native, free and engaging environment. We are delighted to be working alongside EuroLeague Women to build an exciting future for women’s basketball – one which has untapped athletic, fan and commercial potential.”

“We are thrilled to partner with DAZN, a global leader in sports streaming, to further elevate EuroLeague Women,” said FIBA Europe President Jorge Garbajosa. “This agreement aligns with our strategic vision to strengthen women’s basketball by bringing our top-level competition to an even broader audience, showcasing the incredible basketball talent in Europe.”

FIBA Europe Executive Director, Kamil Novak, added: “Women in basketball is a strategic priority for FIBA, and the impressive digital growth of EuroLeague Women underscores our collective efforts to elevate the sport. The partnership with DAZN signifies that EuroLeague Women has developed into a brand of substantial value, reflecting the ever-growing recognition of the property in the global women’s basketball landscape.”
