Netgem has formally integrated DAZN into its TV platform. This is a significant expansion of its sports offering for viewers in the UK, Ireland, Gibraltar, France, and La Réunion.
Officially available since June 6 and June 13 for those additional regions, this partnership will provide full coverage of major sporting events. Most notably, the FIFA Club World Cup will be broadcast directly into Netgem-connected households.
The Netgem TV partnership and rollout
Netgem TV is widely available through UK ISPs like TalkTalk, Community Fibre, WightFibre, and BRSK. So, most subscribers in those regions can expect swift integration of the new additions.
Technical enablement occurred on June 6 in the UK, Ireland, and Gibraltar, followed by a June 13 update for France and La Réunion.
Sylvain Thevenot, Managing Director of Netgem Pleio (Streaming services for Operators), emphasized:
“This is a game-changer for sports fans. Partnering with DAZN catapults our entertainment offering to a new level for both our customers and telecom operator partners across Europe.
Access to world-class sporting events like this will undoubtedly drive massive customer engagement and satisfaction.”
Peter Parmenter, EVP of Business Development at DAZN, added:
“This is great news for sports fans in the UK, Ireland, and Gibraltar, who will be able to enjoy DAZN’s extensive selection of premium sports content in even more ways. We are excited to enter this partnership with Netgem, as we continue to set the standard in digital sports entertainment experiences.”
What Netgem TV subscribers will gain
Existing and new subscribers should expect the following:
- Comprehensive sports access: Other than football, DAZN delivers NFL Game Pass, major boxing, and MMA events. The platform also has darts, golf, motorsports, basketball (FIBA Courtside 1891), and multiple tennis and national league packages.
- Unified app experience: Because DAZN is integrated directly into the Netgem SuperApp, subscribers enjoy one-stop navigation for all content. Through the same interface they use for Prime Video or Discovery+, tuning into DAZN content requires no additional downloads or setup. Just selecting it from the channel lineup.
- Operator bundling and no extra cost: For end users of partnering ISPs, DAZN comes at no additional cost. It’s bundled within their existing packages. That means live access to matches, analysis, and originals, provided users’ ISPs carry Netgem TV as part of their subscription bundle.
What the Netgem TV deal means in a business context
Netgem has been enhancing its platform, with a focus on content partnerships. This deal builds on earlier alliances, such as with FIFA+.
For DAZN, this expansion increases subscriber reach without requiring direct entry into new ISPs. Aligning with a hosted provider like Netgem cuts friction. It taps into an existing user base and extends DAZN usage beyond solo subscriptions.
