DAZN Will Be Available on Planes and Ships: Inflight and Onboard Experimentation Begins

DAZN aims to expand its scope, with the goal of providing an increasingly widespread service. After optimizing its streaming infrastructure (the current service of the platform is undoubtedly superior to what was offered a few years ago), DAZN is preparing to enter a new phase with the launch of the experimentation of a new service called Inflight and Onboard. This is a system with which the company aims to broadcast live events on planes and ships, reaching an even wider audience.

Experimentation Begins

For now, DAZN has not provided details regarding the new Inflight and Onboard service, merely emphasizing that the possibility of broadcasting live events on planes and ships "is taking shape" and that "the first developments are expected soon." DAZN will likely need to establish new partnerships with transport operators and telecommunications operators to ensure optimized management of live event broadcasts in contexts where connectivity is very limited (both in terms of bandwidth and traffic) and also very costly to implement.

On this matter, therefore, further details will arrive in the future. Generally speaking, within a few years, even DAZN Italia's content could be accessible during air travel and on ships, with modalities and costs yet to be verified. It is worth noting that DAZN holds the rights to Serie A until 2029 and will, therefore, remain a reference for several years for all Italian fans, who must now contend with an increase in subscription costs.
