Worth knowing

ESPN+ launched in 2018 and now has over 26 million subscribers in the US.
DAZN operates in 200+ countries, making it one of the most internationally distributed sports streamers.
ESPN+ does NOT include live ESPN channel access — that still requires a cable/TV package.
DAZN has paid over $1 billion for boxing rights alone, making it the sport's streaming home.
ESPN+ is ad-supported even at paid tiers during some live events, which can frustrate subscribers.

DAZN is pronounced 'Da Zone' — yet somehow it took years for anyone to agree on that, with fans calling it everything from 'Dazzle' to 'Dah-zawn.'
