Now is the time to test DAZN, the official broadcaster of the League! Until October 13, the platform offers a 7-day trial period, without fees or commitment. Enough to raise its high prices?
As the 2024-2025 Ligue 1 season officially begins, many football fans are finding themselves frustrated. At issue: the DAZN platform, the “Netflix of sport”, has recovered the majority of the broadcasting rights for the event. However, the prices charged by the platform are far from cheap! It costs €19.99 per month (without commitment) to access a single match per day or €39.99 per month (without commitment) to benefit from all the matches (see our article).
So, inevitably, IPTV and other illegal solutions are attractive, and DAZN is struggling to recruit subscribers! Also, the streaming platform has decided to lower its prices to attract more football fans and launched a promotional offer during the month of September. The day after the end of this, the SVOD announced the launch of“a 7-day trial period from September 30”. A “unique opportunity which allows you to discover the entire DAZN ecosystem, without commitment”. Hoping this is enough…
Free DAZN: an offer to seduce the most reluctant
Thus, since September 30, DAZN has for the first time allowed football fans to subscribe to its platform without paying, with free access to the entire streaming service for 7 days. At the end of this trial period, it will be possible to take out a subscription or cancel it without paying anything.
By subscribing now, new DAZN subscribers will have free access to all Ligue 1 matches on the seventh day, which will take place from October 4 to 6 and will involve OM-Angers, Rennes-Monaco, OL- Nantes, Strasbourg-Lens or even Nice-PSG. There will then be an international break, which explains the end of free Ligue 1 after October 13, after which the 8th day will begin, with Monaco-Lille opening.
Note that, during the trial period, new users will be able to benefit from all the content broadcast by DAZN, such as the French basketball, boxing and MMA championships, as well as the functions offered by the platform, such as access to the FanZone. Happy again! Because, now that the September promotion is over, the prices return to 29.99 euros per month with a one-year commitment and 39.99 euros monthly without commitment. Outch!
