Yet another increase in DAZN's prices, which occurred a few months after the last adjustment at the beginning of 2024, sparked the anger of fans, who vented their anger on social media, expressing their disappointment. Although DAZN has expanded the offer to include new sporting events such as volleyball and the Paris 2024 Olympics, many users believe that costs have become unsustainable.
DAZN justified the increase with the need to support investments for theacquisition of new high-level sports rights, such as the Paris 2024 Olympics and international volleyball. However, fans' patience appears to be at its limit and the streaming platform could see a significant reduction in subscribers in the coming months.
