Alongside the announcement of their upcoming boxing schedule, streaming service DAZN are set to increase prices for subscribers in the UK.

The sports platform provides content in more than 200 countries and territories, and was put on the map in terms of the UK boxing scene by Eddie Hearn and his promotional company, Matchroom, who signed a longterm deal.

The previous monthly price for UK fans was £7.99, but they are set to see an increase to £9.99 if they sign up for 12 months. A flexi-pass – one that allows subscribers to cancel anytime and avoid the yearly commitment – is set at £19.99 per month. The cost for a year’s subscription in a one-off payment is £99.99.

There is a pay-per-view service, too, most recently rolled out for DAZN’s crossover events, Misfits, in which YouTuber KSI regularly headlines. Saul ‘Canelo’ Álvarez’ trilogy bout with Gennadiy Golovkin was also only available at an extra cost.

Subscribers were made aware of price increases via email as the broadcaster’s six-month fight plan was announced on social media.

“Reflective of the steady increase in live sports and original content, we’re updating our pricing across the DAZN service from 6 February 2023 and introducing three subscription plans to suit all types of fan.”

The company advised that regular subscriptions would jump to the £19.99 price point on the next payment date unless users switched to one of the ‘savers’ plans.

Their schedule’s star attraction is Anthony Joshua’s first fight back after consecutive defeats to Oleksandr Usyk. He will take on Jermaine Franklin on April 1 at London’s O2 Arena. Callum Smith returns to action in the light heavyweight division against undefeated Polish fighter, Pawel Stepien, on March 11 in Liverpool.

Other highlights include Katie Taylor’s rematch with Amanda Serrano in Dublin on May 20, and Joe Cordina’s super-featherweight title challenge against Shavkatdzhon Rakhimov in Cardiff on April 22. No fights mentioned are on the PPV model.
