DAZN – PURE SPORT ON DEMAND
This London-based sports entertainment streaming company was among the first to offer a pure-sport live and on-demand streaming service . Currently , the company offers its programming in seven markets across three continents and features over 25,000 live events each year .
As part of its ongoing efforts to scale , DAZN has been turning towards a network of virtual production facilities , which allows its editors to perform live logging , editing , commentary , and graphic design functions remotely from anywhere in the world . The first hub opened in Madrid in September in order to support DAZN ’ s production of content in support of its premium sports right in the country to MotoGP , Premier League and Euroleague Basketball .
“ At DAZN , digital disruption is at the heart of everything we do . The ability to operate in an agile and scalable virtual environment means we can get our content localised and out to market across multiple regions much more quickly . It also enables us to tap into shared resources in whatever configuration is required to fulfil our programming needs ,” said Neil Colligan , Chief Operations Officer of the DAZN Group .

With a 100mn-strong global user base , Amazon ’ s Prime membership offering has seen its media library expand consistently since its launch in 2006 as Amazon Unbox . Over the last winter , it broadcast the NFL ’ s Thursday Night Football – on both Prime and its Twitch subsidiary – as well as professional golf , tennis and baseball across multiple markets .
