Tottenham Hotspur’s bold media strategy is officially live. As of the 2026-27 season, the club has severed its traditional path to domestic broadcast and thrown its weight behind global streaming giant DAZN. The deal, formally announced on August 13, 2026, comes with a massive promise: nearly every cup tie and the majority of league fixtures that aren’t snatched up by the UK’s entrenched broadcasters are now exclusively streaming on DAZN.
This is not a fringe experiment. The partnership has already smashed internal records. The first streamed competitive match - a Carabao Cup tie against Coventry City on August 25 - pulled in 2.1 million global unique viewers, a platform record for a non-Premier League club fixture. With the first Premier League clash on the service arriving this weekend (Fulham away on September 12), fans are finally seeing the shape of this new "digital Lilywhite" era. Gone are the days of scrambling for dodgy streams or crossing fingers for a televised slot. DAZN is now the home base for Spurs, and it’s forcing a conversation about how we pay for the beautiful game.
Breaking Down the Deal: What You Get for £9.99
The structure is simple in theory but massive in scope. DAZN will exclusively stream all 29 Premier League matches not selected by UK rights holders Sky Sports or TNT Sports. On top of that, DAZN holds the rights to every Carabao Cup and FA Cup tie the club plays, excluding those specifically sold to national rights holders.
That volume of content is delivered via a new, dedicated service tier: "DAZN Spurs." In the UK, the price is set at £9.99 per month (with an optional annual plan at £99), and crucially, there’s no annual lock-in for the monthly option. US-based fans will pay $14.99/month. The coverage footprint is staggering - active in the UK, Ireland, USA, Canada, Australia, and roughly 160 other territories, with only China and a few existing-rights markets excluded.

But it’s the technical features that are turning heads. Every live fixture will come with a "multi-feed" option. You aren’t stuck with just the main broadcast angle. Subscribers can flip between the primary show, a tactical cam, and dedicated audio-only commentary channels, including a "club radio" feed for that authentic stadium vibe. Add in the revamped Spurs+ hub with exclusive behind-the-scenes content, and DAZN is attempting to build a digital fortress for the fanbase, not just a place to watch 90 minutes.
| Region | Monthly Price | Annual Option | Key Inclusions |
|---|---|---|---|
| UK & Ireland | £9.99 | £99 | 29 PL matches + all cup ties, multi-feed, Spurs+ |
| USA | $14.99 | Not specified | Same full package, no blackout restrictions |
| 160+ other territories | Varies | Varies | Full access, excluding China and select markets |
The Cost of Convenience: Fan Friction and the Financial Logic
Not everyone is popping champagne over this seismic shift. The immediate sting for UK fans is that DAZN Spurs doesn't replace Sky or TNT - it stacks on top of them. With Sky Sports hovering around £30/month and Amazon Prime at roughly £8.99/month, the total cost to watch every Spurs match in the UK now approaches £50/month. A vocal backlash erupted in late August, centering on that "subscription fatigue" and the feeling that the club has monetized the fanbase further without offering a true "one-stop-shop" for all competitions.
Club Chairman Daniel Levy fired back on August 28 with a firm rebuttal, leaning on the numbers to justify the price point. Levy’s argument is that the math favors the consumer: the DAZN tier provides 29+ league and cup fixtures at an average cost of under £0.35 per match, compared to roughly £1.10 per game for a typical Sky Sports offering. For the club, this is a direct-to-consumer cash cow that bypasses traditional broadcast gatekeepers and gives them total control over the matchday narrative and branding.
