DAZN To Broadcast UTMB Globally

Another day, another press release from the UTMB Group:

UTMB^® World Series and DAZN, the world’s leading live sports streaming service, have signed a groundbreaking two-year global broadcast partnership to showcase UTMB World Series in 2024 and 2025.

This covers the “rest of the world” while Outside will continue to be the provider for the USA and Canada,  L’Équipe in France and iQIYI in China.

Now with just over 4 month to go until the Finals the UTMB steam engine is gaining speed. Will be fun to watch what else will come down the pike…. and it’ll be fun to see if the proposed live streaming of Canyons will be improved over last year (and by improved I mean actually happening).

It’ll be free to watch:

What’s more, fans will be able to access all the best of the UTMB World Series for free as the content will live within DAZN’s ever-expanding global free tier. 

What’s not clear with this announcement is if this DAZN deal replaces Youtube as a platform for streaming the UTMB races or will be an addition. I will update once I find out more.
