TORONTO, 28 May 2026 – DAZN, the world’s leading sports entertainment platform, has acquired media rights to the Canadian Football League (CFL) in Canada and globally, bringing one of Canada’s most popular sports leagues to fans domestically and globally beginning in 2027 through the 2032 season.

DAZN Canada will be the exclusive broadcaster of all Saturday Night Football games at 7 p.m. ET. Fans nationwide will be able to watch 21 consecutive Saturday prime-time regular season games and two playoff games each season, only on DAZN.

Meanwhile, DAZN will broadcast all CFL regular season games, playoff games and the Grey Cup each season to fans internationally (excluding the U.S.). All CFL content will be available free on DAZN outside of North America.

DAZN will produce its exclusive Canadian broadcasts, featuring its own on-air team, delivering a modern experience while remaining authentic to the league’s identity. Fans around the world will also benefit from DAZN’s enhanced platform features, including FanZone live chat, dedicated fan spaces, highlights, breaking news, real-time Scores and original programming.

Stewart Johnston, CFL Commissioner, said: “We are thrilled to align with DAZN, the global leader in sports media and innovation. From our first conversations, they have been steadfast in their pursuit of the CFL. That drive and passion for our game, combined with their cutting-edge capabilities, an unwavering commitment to football and unparalleled global reach, will deliver a new viewing experience for all CFL fans, while introducing broader audiences to Canadian football.”

Deidra Dionne, Head of DAZN Canada, said: “Having grown up as an Albertan with Saskatchewan roots, I’ve witnessed firsthand the proud history and passionate fan base the Canadian Football League has across the country. The CFL has built on that legacy through recent innovation and modernization and has solidified its place among Canada’s elite properties. Our partnership enables DAZN to showcase the CFL in new ways, with accessible coverage and authentic storytelling, while keeping it uniquely Canadian.”

Shay Segev, DAZN Group CEO, said: “The Canadian Football League combines heritage, loyalty, and growing international appeal. Adding the world’s second-largest professional football league is a no-brainer. The CFL is a strong addition to our robust football portfolio and reinforces our commitment to offering top-tier sports to fans globally.”

In Canada, the CFL will join a growing portfolio of premium sports content on DAZN, including NFL Game Pass; world-class soccer competitions and leagues such as the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, UEFA Conference League, UEFA Nations League and Bundesliga; alongside world‑class women’s sport such as the WTA.
