Tubi teams with DAZN for sports as free TV service continues its takeover

Not that Tubi was exactly lacking for anything to watch, but the free (as in ad-supported) streaming service just added a couple more reasons to keep you glued to your couch. The Fox-owned FAST service (that’s short for free ad-supported television) today announced a partnership with DAZN that brings a bevy of sports to platform.

The tentpole addition is DAZN Women’s Football. It’ll be available 24 hours a day, with “a compelling mix of live and classic soccer matches from prestigious tournaments.” Those will include the UEFA Women’s Champions League, Liga F, and the Saudi Women’s Premier League, among others. It’ll be available in the U.S. and Canada.

DAZN Ringside is coming to the U.S. only and features “the very best action across boxing and MMA from our partners Matchroom Boxing, Golden Boy, Wasserman, and MF & DAZN: X Series.” The channel will include live undercards, with action before the bell, including weigh-ins. It also will have 300 hours of archived fights, exclusive documentaries, and The DAZN Boxing Show. World title fights also will be available after a waiting period.

And DAZN TV is headed to Tubi audiences in Canada, with a multitude of boxing, MMA, and international soccer.

If you already have Tubi — which got a new look earlier this year — installed on whatever device you like to stream from, you’re good to go. And that means pretty much any modern device that has an internet connection, be it Roku or Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV or Google TV, various smart TV platforms, phones, or even in a web browser. Tubi is free — you just have to give it a few minutes of your attention for advertising.

The upcoming sports streaming service is a textbook case of a ‘trollout’
The search box on the ESPN app.

There’s a phenomenon in the phone world that’s as smart as it is frustrating. That’s the one where a company announces an exciting new feature, only to eventually note that it’s going to roll it out in stages. You can’t get it now. You might not get it for a while. And if anything goes wrong, it’ll push things back further. (And you’ll likely not get any further communication.)

That, friends, is the “trollout.” It's mean to roll things out in a responsible way, in case things go wrong.

We still have a million questions about the upcoming sports streaming service that combines the live options from the likes of Disney (as in the full ESPN family), Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery. Most important for what we're currently calling the super sports streaming service will be a name. And a close second will be what it's going to cost.

While much remains to be announced, we're slowly getting a little more information on the yet-to-be-named sports streaming bundle that will combine the assets of ESPN, Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery. (We're going to call it the "super sports streaming bundle" for now.)

Fox Corp. Executive Chairman and CEO Lachlan Murdoch spoke a bit about the new service during his company's fiscal 2024 second-quarter earnings call on Wednesday.
