DAZN Expanding to More Than 200 Countries and Territories

New York and London (ots/PRNewswire) - Canelo Alvarez's Traditional Cinco De
Mayo Weekend Fight on May 2 Marks First Global Event on Leading Sports Streaming
Service

DAZN, the leading global sports streaming service, will dramatically increase
its presence in 2020, expanding to more than 200 countries and territories.

The first global event on DAZN will be Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez's
soon-to-be-announced fight during Cinco de Mayo Weekend, which will take place
on Saturday, May 2.

This first phase of DAZN's global expansion will be an English-language service
focused on boxing, building on the company's significant investment in the sport
over the past two years. DAZN holds international rights to many of the world's
top promotional companies including Golden Boy Promotions, Matchroom Boxing USA
and GGG Promotions. Fighters such as Alvarez and Gennadiy "GGG" Golovkin will be
part of a robust year-round portfolio of premium fights and original programming
on the new service.

"Beginning this spring, most of the world will have access to DAZN and its
unmatched schedule of boxing events," said DAZN Group Executive Chairman John
Skipper. "Our roster of championship fighters represents some of the world's
most popular athletes and we'll be working with them to stage spectacular
international events for years to come."

"Since our launch in 2016, we've seen an encouraging level of interest around
our key events from both international fans and potential partners, which
highlighted the opportunity to capitalize on our existing rights portfolio
within boxing to fuel our expansion," said DAZN EVP Joseph Markowski, who will
oversee the global service. "Establishing DAZN as the global home of fight
sports is just the first step and we couldn't think of a better attraction for
our inaugural event than Canelo's traditional Cinco de Mayo Weekend fight."

In addition to live sporting events, DAZN offers an ever-growing archive of
classic fights, athlete features and a slate of original programming featuring
40 DAYS, The Making Of and ONE NIGHT.

To date, DAZN has debuted services in nine countries - Austria, Brazil, Canada,
Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the United States - across four
continents.

The DAZN app will be available globally on most internet-connected devices,
including smartphones, tablets, laptops, PCs, and living room devices such as
smart TVs, streaming sticks and game consoles.

Pricing by market will be announced in the coming weeks.

For fans outside of DAZN's existing markets that are interested in gaining early
access to the service via the DAZN beta community, registration is open at
DAZN.com. Official invites will be sent out later this month.
