We are still far from the mark! According to the latest figures communicated by The Teamthe DAZN group is still unable to significantly increase its number of subscribers.
Since the channel's arrival on the French football market, no official figures have been communicated on the number of subscriptions signed. However, the sports daily had already revealed three weeks ago, DAZN only had 500,000 subscribers. And despite promotional offers, the group is still far from its objectives; its number of subscribers would not have really changed.
Although the League has decided to go on the hunt against pirate streaming accounts, football fans continue to find solutions. Last week's Clasico betweenOM and PSG would have gathered at least 150,000 spectators on the Telegram network.
DAZN contract on hold?
DAZN was counting on this poster to refuel, however, in vain. A few years ago, at a comparable time, the Mediapro channel had 600,000 subscriberswhich was not enough to save the channel, which collapsed a few months later.
As a reminder, DAZN hoped to reach 1 million subscribers after the first six months. If this figure is not reached by December 1, 2025, DAZN may withdraw at the end of the second season, without waiting for the end initially planned in 2029. The LFP also has the possibility of ending its partnership with DAZN if the threshold of 1.5 million subscribers has not been reached.
