DAZN made a big push in commercial sports rights that involved WWE, UFC and Zuffa Boxing’s parent company.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, DAZN acquired EverPass Media, which holds commercial rights to major sporting events like NFL Sunday Ticket and live sports from Peacock, Netflix, Paramount and Apple. The company is responsible for selling and providing the infrastructure to deliver those events to bars, hotels and other commercial venues. EverPass was founded by the NFL’s 32 Equity investment arm and RedBird Capital Partners. TKO invested in the company in July 2024.

As part of the deal, TKO, RedBird and the NFL will be minority shareholders in the combined company.
