DAZN — the sports streamer that built its name on boxing and niche international rights — just planted itself inside Amazon’s Prime Video living room. Starting this week, U.S. and U.K. Prime customers can add DAZN as a paid channel inside the Prime Video app, letting fans subscribe (and buy DAZN pay-per-view cards) without leaving Amazon’s interface.
At its simplest, DAZN on Prime Video gives you DAZN’s catalogue and live events inside the Prime app. That catalogue is broad — boxing and MMA remain front and center, but DAZN’s rights slate now includes significant football packages (notably Italy’s Serie A), golf, and other international sports, depending on market.
How much? If you subscribe through Prime, you’ll see DAZN offered as an extra monthly add-on. DAZN’s U.S. Flexible/Prime-channel tier is being listed at roughly $29.99 a month (DAZN’s own pricing tiers and the Prime-channel listing reflect that ballpark), so expect roughly a $30/month uplift on top of whatever you already spend for Prime/Prime Video.
Amazon’s announcement — and DAZN’s recent marketing — lean on a few tidy figures because they catch attention: DAZN touts “more than 185 fight nights per year” as part of its boxing/MMA output, and its freshly expanded Serie A package is said to deliver “more than 300” live Italian league fixtures into key markets. Those are the kinds of stats Amazon uses to sell the channel to sports fans who want a lot of live action.
Why this matters
Two things are happening at once.
First, sports fans win a small convenience: fewer apps and fewer sign-ins. If you already live in Prime Video for shows and the occasional live event, adding DAZN inside Prime keeps everything on one watchlist, single billing point and a single search experience. Amazon also plans to make DAZN pay-per-views available through Prime — so big boxing nights can be purchased inside the same flow.
Second, this is a distribution strategy. DAZN has spent the last few years widening where it’s available — the service has been sold through other platforms and previously had Prime-channel carriage in markets like France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Japan and Canada — and the deal with U.S. and U.K. Prime Video is the next step in pushing that footprint into mainstream apps. For DAZN, that’s about reach; for Amazon, it’s about stuffing Prime with must-have live content.
Where DAZN fits inside Prime Video’s sports mix
Prime Video already carries or bundles a surprising amount of live sport — Thursday Night Football and other NFL programming, select NBA windows and interactive NBA features, a growing slate of motorsport and motorsport-related rights (NASCAR Cup coverage among them), and even added hours of the Masters for 2026. DAZN joins that line-up as a paid complement rather than replacing any of Amazon’s existing free-to-Prime live rights. In short, Prime gives you some marquee sports for “no extra channel fee,” and now there’s a single inbox inside the app where you can opt into DAZN’s deeper catalog if you want it.
The tradeoffs: price and a changing DAZN
There’s a tradeoff worth flagging. DAZN’s pricing has been moving — the company recently launched a higher-priced “Ultimate” tier aimed at bundling big pay-per-view fights into a subscription — and fans have pushed back when legacy pricing shifted. In other words, DAZN’s catalog is bigger than it used to be, but it’s also getting pricier, especially if you want the premium fight nights that once sat behind one-off PPV purchases. If you subscribe via Prime, you’ll pay for convenience and catalog access for a monthly premium; if you’re a casual fan, you’ll need to weigh whether a $30 add-on is worth the extra screens and live events you’ll actually watch.
What this looks like on the ground
In practice, you’ll add DAZN the same way you add other Prime channels: find DAZN inside the Prime Video Channels store, hit Subscribe, and your Amazon account handles billing. DAZN events — live fight nights, Serie A matches where applicable, and DAZN originals — should appear alongside your Prime library and in search results. Pay-per-views tied to DAZN will show as separate purchases inside the same flow.
A crowded live-sports buffet
This is one more data point in a trend that’s been obvious for a while: live sports are the battleground for streaming differentiation. Amazon has used exclusive NFL packages and other big rights to turn Prime Video into a sports destination; Apple has leaned into F1 and MLS; YouTube TV and others keep chasing bundles and niche packages. For viewers, it means more choice — but also more subscriptions and more decisions about which corner of the sports calendar you care about enough to pay for.
If you’re a heavy follower of DAZN’s verticals — boxing, MMA or the new Serie A output — the Prime-channel option makes subscribing a little tidier and keeps the viewing experience inside one app. If you’re a more casual fan, weigh the roughly $30/month lift against how much live content you’ll actually watch. Either way, the move cements DAZN’s strategy of leaning on big, live events and broad distribution — and it tightens Prime Video’s claim to being the place where a solid chunk of live sport now happens.
