I have been waiting all my life for DAZN


Finally Watch any sports competition has become reality and it is DAZN, a subscription video streaming service.

I can watch recorded sport events as if they were live as there is no final score displayed. I had a subscription to another sports video streaming service where it was the same that I could watch a recorded event. However, sports results were all over the place. I suggested they had a ‘no score’ area for the recorded events but they didn’t pay any attention to my suggestion so I’d thought perhaps they are right and I am wrong, after all they are the professionals, I am only a guy with ideas.
However, DAZN came along as I’d imagined and I felt vindicated :).

Of course it is not perfect as the recorded sport events cannot be downloaded to be watched offline, I suppose because of copyright reasons. Also, it is not possible to change the resolution in case you do not want to use too much data.

They still do not have the Premier League (the jewel in the crown) rights, however they have the Champions League, Europa League, Spain, Italy and France soccer matches.

I am amazed DAZN managed to pull this off. I would have expected companies like Netflix, Apple, Amazon, even Facebook to be the first to create a comprehensive sport events video streaming service.
