DAZN Reveals $99.99 Yearly Plan, Monthly Increase to $19.99

DAZN Reveals $99.99 Yearly Plan, Monthly Increase to $19.99
By Keith Idec

If you already subscribe to DAZN, you will have received much of this information in an email Thursday afternoon.

If you’re considering subscribing or have been hesitant to do so, what you need to know is that the emerging streaming service has made some alterations to its subscription packages. Since its official launch in the United States with the Anthony Joshua-Alexander Povetkin fight September 22, DAZN has offered mostly boxing and MMA content for a monthly subscription cost of $9.99 per month.

Starting Monday, DAZN will become available at two price points.

A yearly subscription plan will cost $99.99, or slightly less, $8.33, than the current monthly subscription rate of $9.99. New subscribers also can continue paying on a month-to-month basis, but at twice the cost, $19.99, than the current $9.99 per month.

DAZN’s plan understandably is to put pricing in place that’ll help build its base of sustained subscriptions. Unlike U.S. boxing competitors ESPN, FOX and Showtime, DAZN’s viewership figures aren’t known because DAZN doesn’t release its subscription figures.

Bit odd I haven't received a single notification of the rate increase. Much of the appeal for me was reasonable price month to month. Didn't they put something in about grandfathering in current $9.99 subscribers for a years time? It's too early on to start pinning potential new subscribers down with annual rate at the same time Hearn is trying to throw money around like a drunk Adrien Broner at a titty bar.

The $19.99 is for new subscribers.

It will go up to $19.99 per month for everyone in 2020.

I'm going to contact them and try to get my subscription changed to the new $99 per year offer. Right now I'm paying with a credit card monthly deduction.

Now that they have everyone by the balls, it'll be sort of like when cable first started taking over the TV market. First they dupe you in with a "good offer", then when it's clear they're the only viable alternative they start tweaking up the price little by little. Won't be long before the $99.99 yearly plan doubles, and all of a sudden we're forking over $200/year for a boxing streaming service whether you watch enough fights to make it worth your while or not.

I like the idea but you keep picking up ten dollar or whatever a month things and they add up. I’d love to get this DAZN it sounds wicked pissah as we say in Boston but I’m getting tired of the nickel and dime shit. Still it’s sounds like a cool thing
