DAZN has secured the right to screen Serie A matches for soccer fans in Canada. The agreement will enable the network to provide coverage for matches in the Italian domestic league for the next three years, starting from this season.
The deal comes after the streaming platform extended its coverage of Serie A TIM in Canada where it was originally on offer as part of a carriage agreement with beIN Sports.

Over the next 10 months, DAZN Canada will exclusively bring to its fans coverage of all the 380 Serie A matches to be played in the 2018/2019 season. This means that fans will be able to watch Juventus' marquee signing Cristiano Ronaldo when he makes his debut against Chievo Verona on August 18 in the league's opening fixture.
Soccer fans in Canada can access this opening game as well as subsequent matches over the season on DAZN via smart TVs, PCs, mobile phones, tablets and games consoles.
