The deal includes the addition of D1 Arkema to DAZN’s UK, US, and Spanish services, and the extension of the exclusive rights in Germany and Austria for the next three seasons.

Hannah Brown, DAZN’s co-chief executive of women’s sport, said: “DAZN is deepening its offer in France with the addition of D1 Arkema, featuring some of the biggest names in the women’s game.

“It reinforces DAZN’s strategic commitment to investing in and developing women’s football in our core markets – we already hold the domestic rights to top-flight women’s football in Germany, Spain, and Japan, as well as global rights to the UEFA Women’s Champions League, NWSL and Spain’s Liga F.

“Alongside our domestic rights, we are also promoting D1 Arkema internationally with rights for the US, UK, Spain, Germany, and Austria.
