- BASKET.TV expands DAZN’s global basketball portfolio and bolsters its presence in Latin America – a priority market for the group.
- The acquisition strengthens DAZN’s basketball proposition, complementing its long-term FIBA partnership and Courtside 1891 offering on DAZN, as well as content from domestic basketball leagues and teams in the US, UK, France, Portugal, Japan, and Spain.
LONDON, 12 October 2026 – DAZN, the world’s leading sports entertainment platform, today announced the acquisition of BASKET.TV, a leading basketball streaming service operating primarily across the LATAM (‘Latin America’) region.
Following the success of the FIBA Women’s World Cup, broadcast globally on Courtside 1891 on DAZN, the acquisition of BASKET.TV marks an important next step in DAZN’s strategy to build the ultimate digital destination for basketball and strengthens the platform’s position as the global home of sport. It expands DAZN’s extensive basketball rights portfolio, broadens the group’s footprint in Latin America, and creates new opportunities for fans, leagues and partners.
Founded as a specialist basketball streaming service in 2020, BASKET.TV has established a strong presence across Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador and Uruguay, serving hundreds of thousands of users. The platform broadcasts around 4,900 matches each season across more than 300 teams, covering top-tier domestic leagues in the markets in which it operates as well as selected international club competitions.
The transaction strengthens DAZN’s basketball portfolio which already includes content from the NBA and select constituent teams*, NCAA college basketball, Super League Basketball, LNB Élite, Liga Endesa, and Copa del Rey, as well as from the multi-year partnership with FIBA, which includes the FIBA Media joint venture.
Shay Segev, CEO of DAZN Group, said: “BASKET.TV has built a high-quality basketball platform with top-tier domestic rights, deep market expertise and an impressive technology operation. 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.”
