DAZN1 is a satellite channel operated by global OTT subscription service DAZN, which was launched on Sky Italia’s satellite platform in September 2019. The channel was launched to broadcast exclusive Serie A matches, as well as some Serie B matches in HD. At the time of its creation, the satellite channel was not available on Sky’s streaming services, which include NOW TV and Sky Go. However, it was made available to Sky Business subscribers, meaning that games on DAZN1 could be viewed in public premises such as bars, hotels, and restaurants.
The aim behind DAZN1 was also partly to help the main DAZN service in its broadcast of sporting events in Italy on multiple platforms.
