DAZN Acquires BASKET.TV to Expand Latin America Basketball Reach

DAZN has acquired basketball streaming service BASKET.TV to expand its global basketball offering and strengthen its presence in Latin America, the company announced on October 12, 2026. The deal brings a regional platform serving Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador and Uruguay, with hundreds of thousands of users and around 4,900 matches each season.

According to DAZN and reports from The Desk, BASKET.TV was founded in 2020 and covers more than 300 teams through domestic leagues and selected international club competitions. Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

The acquisition adds regional basketball rights and technology capabilities to DAZN's existing portfolio, which includes programming from the NBA, NCAA college basketball, Super League Basketball, LNB Élite, Liga Endesa, Copa del Rey and competitions connected to its partnership with FIBA.

DAZN Group CEO Shay Segev said the transaction strengthens the company's basketball strategy and supports expansion plans in Latin America.

"BASKET.TV has built a high-quality basketball platform with top-tier domestic rights, deep market expertise and an impressive technology operation. This acquisition significantly strengthens our global basketball proposition and supports our broader growth ambitions across Latin America. Together, we'll create great value for fans, leagues and partners while continuing to grow the sport around the world." said Shay Segev, CEO of DAZN Group.

The company said the deal follows its recent expansion of basketball content through Courtside 1891 on DAZN, which globally carried the FIBA Women's World Cup. DAZN has also maintained a long-term partnership with FIBA through the FIBA Media joint venture.

Sportcal reported that Courtside 1891 moved exclusively to DAZN earlier in 2026 after previously being available on a non-exclusive basis since 2024. The platform has been used as part of DAZN's wider effort to build a broader basketball distribution network.

DAZN's basketball portfolio also includes local rights partnerships with several professional teams in the United States, including the Indiana Pacers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Cleveland Cavaliers, San Antonio Spurs, Memphis Grizzlies, Charlotte Hornets, Detroit Pistons, Orlando Magic, New York Knicks, Brooklyn Nets and Washington Wizards.

SportsMint Media reported that BASKET.TV's coverage of approximately 4,900 annual games gives DAZN access to additional live basketball inventory across Latin American markets. The acquisition adds another regional service to the company's international sports streaming operations.
