DAZN has become the new home of the Portuguese Basketball Federation, delivering free coverage of men’s and women’s competitions in the 2026/27 season.
The deal brings more than 400 games to the platform from the men’s and women’s Liga Betclic, men’s and women’s Taça de Portugal, Taça Hugo dos Santos, Taça Federação, Supertaça Mário Saldanha and Supertaça Feminina.
The agreement makes DAZN the only place in Portugal to watch every game from the leagues.
“DAZN brings together some of the world’s biggest international competitions, and we also want it to be a home where sports in Portugal can grow their reach,” said João Diogo Ferreira, MD of DAZN Portugal. “This agreement shows exactly what that means in practice. For the first time, a single broadcaster brings together every Liga Betclic game and comprehensive coverage of all eight leading domestic competitions, across both the men’s and women’s game, with everything available free to fans. This represents a step change in how Portuguese basketball can be followed: without fragmentation, simply and directly through our app, with no paid subscription required. More than just broadcasting games, we want to put our platform to work for competitions, clubs and athletes, giving them greater visibility, bringing them closer to more fans and supporting their growth both in Portugal and internationally.”
João Carvalho, president of the Portuguese Basketball Federation, added, “DAZN is a brand that has been changing the way we follow and experience sport. This collaboration represents a very important step, not only because of DAZN’s scale and reach among fans, but also because of the opportunity to create new content, experiences and moments of connection with a community that shares our passion for basketball. We are very excited about what we can build together from here.”
The deal also features an international component; games will be available exclusively through Courtside 1891, the dedicated basketball service available on DAZN.
Shay Segev, CEO of DAZN Group, said, “One of the major advantages of DAZN as a global platform is our ability to give domestic competitions a genuine opportunity for international growth. With a presence in more than 200 markets, we can bring Portuguese basketball to fans around the world, increasing the reach and profile of its top-tier competitions, clubs and athletes. We use our scale, technology and experience to help our partners reach new audiences and grow beyond their domestic markets. This partnership is also a fantastic addition to DAZN’s comprehensive global basketball offering.”
