DAZN has acquired BASKET.TV, a Latin American basketball streaming service, to strengthen its global basketball portfolio and presence in the region.
DAZN announced on 12 October 2026 that it has acquired BASKET.TV, a basketball streaming service operating primarily across the LATAM (Latin America) region. The acquisition aims to expand DAZN’s global basketball portfolio and bolster its presence in Latin America, which the company identifies as a priority market.
BASKET.TV was founded in 2020 as a specialist basketball streaming service. It has established a presence in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, and Uruguay, serving hundreds of thousands of users. The platform broadcasts approximately 4,900 matches each season across more than 300 teams. This coverage includes top-tier domestic leagues in its operating markets as well as selected international club competitions.
The transaction adds to DAZN’s existing basketball rights portfolio, which includes content from the NBA and select constituent teams, NCAA college basketball, Super League Basketball, LNB Élite, Liga Endesa, and Copa del Rey. DAZN also maintains a long-term partnership with FIBA, which includes the FIBA Media joint venture. The company recently broadcast the FIBA Women’s World Cup globally on Courtside 1891, its basketball-focused offering on DAZN.
Shay Segev, CEO of DAZN Group, stated that the acquisition supports the company's growth ambitions in the region. "BASKET.TV has built a high-quality basketball platform with top-tier domestic rights, deep market expertise and an impressive technology operation," Segev said. "This acquisition significantly strengthens our global basketball proposition and supports our broader growth ambitions across Latin America. Together, we’ll create great value for fans, leagues and partners while continuing to grow the sport around the world."
Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. DAZN did not disclose whether BASKET.TV will continue operating independently or if its programming and subscribers will be integrated into the broader DAZN platform.
This acquisition strengthens DAZN’s position in the global sports streaming market by adding a dedicated basketball service with a significant user base in Latin America. It complements DAZN’s existing international partnerships and domestic league rights, enhancing its ability to serve basketball fans in key growth regions.
