DAZN to Open Access to DSPORTS and All 2026 World Cup Matches in Five Latin American Countries. DAZN has reached an agreement with DSPORTS to broadcast all 104 matches of the 2026 World Cup in five Latin American countries. Subscribers will receive live access to the tournament and other top competitions. The decision affects Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Uruguay.
DAZN has announced a strategic agreement with Latin America's largest sports network, DSPORTS, which will for the first time give platform subscribers in Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Uruguay direct access to all 104 matches of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The broadcast rights are granted on a multi-year basis, significantly expanding DAZN's football offering in the region and strengthening the platform's position amidst global competition for sports content.
The partnership includes the integration of the DSPORTS, DSPORTS2, and DSPORTS+ channels into the DAZN subscription. This will allow viewers not only to follow every match of the 2026 World Cup live but also to watch other major tournaments—from the Copa America and CONMEBOL Sudamericana to basketball, tennis, MMA, cycling, and swimming competitions. As a result, DAZN is becoming one of the few platforms gathering key sporting events for the Latin American audience.
The deal complements DAZN's existing rights to broadcast the 2026 World Cup in Italy, Spain, and Japan, and also expands access to the FIFA+ service. For subscribers in Latin America, this means not only live broadcasts but also the opportunity to watch highlights of leading European leagues—Serie A, LALIGA, the Bundesliga, and the Saudi Pro League. Company representatives note that the agreement aims to make DAZN a global hub for sports broadcasting.
The DAZN management emphasizes that the agreement with DSPORTS gives fans in the region unique access to the world’s largest football tournament. In turn, DSPORTS representatives believe that expanding cooperation with the international platform will allow viewers in Latin America to enjoy top-level content and strengthen the network’s position as the leading source of football broadcasts.
For comparison, in Chile a portion of World Cup 2026 matches will also be available on national television: Chilevisión will provide free coverage of 34 tournament matches, and in total, Chilean viewers will be able to watch 52 games. However, now the full package of live broadcasts for all 104 matches is guaranteed only through DAZN and DSPORTS.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be held for the first time across three countries—USA, Canada, and Mexico—while the number of participating teams has increased to 48. This is the largest tournament in FIFA history, making broadcasting rights particularly valuable for the media market. In recent years, DAZN has been actively expanding its presence in Latin America, offering not only football but also a wide range of other sports. According to russpain.com, the integration of DSPORTS into the DAZN ecosystem could significantly shift the balance of power in the regional sports broadcasting market and increase competition between platforms.
