A DAZN free trial is no longer available. Since terminating the DAZN free trial in 2022, the sports streaming service has launched its own free ad-supported tier, which it began rolling out globally in early 2024.

The free tier allows new and existing customers to access selected content without the need to pay for an account. While the live and on-demand content that's available to watch for free is limited and varies depending on where you live, it's the best way to be able to try out DAZN for free.

If you'd still like the chance to be able to try out a paid subscription without committing to a monthly or annual contract, then there is a way to get a DAZN free trial but you have to purchase a pay-per-view (PPV) event to be able to qualify for it.

For more information about all the ways you can watch DAZN for free, including what its free tier allows you to stream, how much a PPV event is, how long a DAZN free trial lasts for and where to get a cheap subscription, read our guide below.

The best way to try out DAZN without committing to a monthly or annual subscription is to register for a free account, which is now widely accessible in all regions. This allows you to get familiar with the content that's available on the sports streaming service, but there are some limitations, of course.

Those with a free account will only be able to view selected titles, which vary depending on where you live. For those in the US, once you've signed up for free on DAZN's home page, anything you see on the immediate landing page after is fair game. The key freebie to note for US fans is NFL content, with the free home page having match highlights for every NFL game week. Saudi Pro League full matches, LIV Golf and fight week weigh ins are also all included.

The same sign in rules apply for the UK, alongside the broad types of content you can access. For football fans, the UEFA Women's Champions League live is going to be a highlight, which also includes non-live content such as documentaries. Boxing, MMA and nicher sport content is all the same as above.

Lucky for you guys, Australia's free content is exactly the same as the US and UK, so you're not missing out. As DAZN puts it, "Among other things, you will receive weekly access to boxing build-up events during fight weeks, like weigh-ins and press conferences as well as match highlights for every NFL game week. You will also be able to enjoy a wide selection of women's sport including the UEFA Women's Champions League live, non-live content such as documentaries and more."

You can find more info at DAZN's free trial page.

Is there a way to get a DAZN free trial?

If you're tuning into DAZN from either the US or UK, you're in luck. The streamer offers new customers the opportunity to explore the wider platform with a seven-day free trial when purchasing a PPV event. It does mean you have to both have a credit card on file and part with some money, but a freebie is a freebie.

You can watch anything from DAZN during your trial, so don't feel limited to one type of content.

Here's how you get it:

  • Purchase your chosen PPV event through your DAZN account
  • Enter payment details in the sign-up process to activate free trial
  • Free trial is active immediately for the next seven days

If you don't cancel the free trial through your account settings, it will automatically roll into a paid monthly subscription. The good news is you can cancel your free trial at any point and still have access to the full platform's worth of content.

You won't be charged if you cancel during the seven day period, but you will be charged for a full month if you cancel after your trial expires. Typically, a DAZN subscription cancellation needs 30 days notice.

What's the cheapest way to watch DAZN without a free trial?

Again, DAZN pricing varies by country, but it's a lot more fair than it used to be.

In the US, DAZN is currently offering a monthly flexible pass for $29.99 or an annual pass for $224.99, which works out at $19.99 a month with a 12-month contract. This is a fair chunk of money, considering HBO Max is just $16.99 a month without ads and you can get a Disney+ bundle that throws in Hulu and ESPN+ also for $16.99 a month.

In the UK, the cheapest deal is currently paying upfront annually, which would cost £199. The annual pay monthly deal is currently discounted to £9.99, meaning you'd pay £170 for the year. If you're choosing to pay on a monthly flex, you'll be paying £14.99 per month.

Australian fans used to have access to an introductory $2.99 offer, but that's no longer available. In its place, prices are much more similar to the US, with DAZN's monthly plan costing $29.99, while the annual plan is priced at $149.99.

Regardless of where you're streaming from, it's worth remembering DAZN offers different tiers for the NFL season (such as NFL Season Pro and NFL Season Pro Ultimate), which have varying prices.

What can I watch on DAZN?

It's been quite the meteoric rise for sports streaming service DAZN, which was founded back in 2015 and initially launched in Austria, Germany, Switzerland and Japan the following year. Now, it operates in more than 200 markets and streams some of the world's biggest sports, including the NFL, Premier League, and many of the top boxing fights around.

In a nutshell, the bulk of content on DAZN can be broken down into five sections – boxing, MMA (mixed martial arts), soccer, NFL, and women's football. There are also separate sports available too, including darts, motorsport, basketball and tennis.

Boxing is DAZN's main USP, sure to cover all major events and fighters. MMA will equally tend to have different promotions available throughout the year. It's increasingly an exclusive global rights holder when it comes to the boxing it shows. If you've got the NFL Game Pass, you'll have access to  every NFL game, which includes playoffs and the Super Bowl.

Even before you sign up for the service, you can check out what's coming up in the next two weeks across every sport by accessing the schedule on DAZN's website.

Is a DAZN subscription worth it?

If you take a look at customer reviews online, the feedback tends to be mixed. It's no doubt best suited to fans who are really into their boxing, MMA, or niche sports that don't get as much mainstream coverage.

Obviously, we've got a lot of exclusive content and on-demand services here, but it does come at a higher cost than most other streaming services on the market. Still, it largely works out cheaper than most Pay Per View (PPV) events, though DAZN still has the option for these too.

In short: if you're after specific sporting content, look no further. If you're looking for something with a broader range, maybe try somewhere else.

Can you watch DAZN from abroad?

As is the often the case with market-specific streaming services, DAZN is subject to one of the internet's more annoying phenomena: geo-blocking. This means you can't just sign up for a free DAZN trial from anywhere - you have to be in the country. For example, if you're in the US, UK, or anywhere else for that matter and try to access the DAZN Canada site, you'll be politely redirected to your region's version of the service.

A workaround of sorts exists in the form of a VPN, which is a piece of software that allows you to digitally relocate your device's IP address back to your country of residence - so fans abroad can still sign up for a free DAZN trial if they've got their home credit card details handy, or access their existing subscription.

How to cancel DAZN free trial?

Not only does the DAZN free trial cancellation process take a few days to process, but you have to speak to a chatbot type agent in order to do so. If you were cancelling a paid subscription, you'd have to adhere to the streamer's 30-day notice policy, meaning you're still able to watch content in those 30 days until your membership expires. The same is true for the free trial, with new members having access to content for the full seven days before expiry.

Regardless of which one you're trying to cancel, the process is the same:

  • Go to www.dazn.com and sign in
  • Select My Account from the menu and then Subscription
  • Select Cancel subscription
  • A pop-up tab will give you a "Chat to an agent" button or the choice to call the freephone number provided during the opening hours shown in the screen.
  • Once you have cancelled your account you will receive an email confirming your cancellation.

You can cancel your free trial from your Smart TV, computer, or mobile, but the process might be slightly different if you're doing it via something else. If you're cancelling through an Amazon device (such as a Firestick), Apple or Google Pay, you'll need to go to your account page, access your current subscriptions and click Manage. The process is exactly the same if you're doing so through the DAZN app.

You can find more info at DAZN's cancellation page.
