DAZN, reviewed

DAZN is what boxing looks like when it’s paid for. Big Irish nights included, no pay-per-view surprise, on an app that costs less a month than a round of drinks. If your dodgy box was mostly for the fights, this is the page that ends the argument.

What you get

Boxing first: DAZN says 185-plus fights a year in Ireland, including at least 16 Matchroom UK shows. Katie Taylor v Flora Pili at Croke Park in September 2026 was part of the subscription, not an extra. Then the American sports: NFL, NHL, and NFL Game Pass sold as its own package. Then Serie A and the National League. There are separate add-on subscriptions for NRL, Rally TV, Courtside basketball and the ELF if you’re that way inclined.

The boxing and UFC and NFL guides show where DAZN sits against the other options. Apps cover Fire TV, Google TV, Apple TV, Samsung and LG, the consoles and the web, so any of the sticks we recommend will run it.

What it costs

Prices checked 2026-11-10 on the service's Irish pricing page.

Three shapes of plan, per DAZN’s Irish help page: Monthly Flex on a rolling 30-day contract with one stream, Annual paid monthly on a 12-month contract with two streams, and Annual paid upfront. The “starts at” price DAZN advertises is the 12-month one, so the figure on the poster is not the figure for one fight night. There is a dearer Ultimate tier too, on an annual contract, which includes a minimum of 12 pay-per-views a year. Prices as of 10 November 2026; confirm them at checkout current DAZN prices (official source, opens in a new tab).

The catch

Notice. Monthly Flex is rolling, but it’s 30 days’ notice with a pro-rata fee, so “cancel after the fight” means “pay for the month after the fight”. Flex is also one stream, one device. The annual plans double the streams but tie you in for the year.

Two smaller ones. The price has a history: DAZN’s Irish monthly price quadrupled in one go in 2021, so don’t assume today’s figure is forever. And on the Standard plan pay-per-view events cost extra, so check the big card is in the subscription before fight night.

The small print

When to have it, when to cancel

• Fight nights: they’re sporadic. Subscribe to Monthly Flex the week of the card, give notice the same day, and you’ll pay roughly a month for it. If you’d do that eight times a year, the annual plan is cheaper.
• NFL season, September to February: six months of Monthly Flex comes to less than twelve payments on the annual plan, at the prices in the table. Keep Flex running and give notice in January.
• Serie A, August to May: ten months of Flex costs more than the full annual plan, so take the annual one.
• Summer: cancel unless there’s a card. There usually is.

Verdict

DAZN is the only sports service on this site where an Irish boxing night at Croke Park comes included. Buy it for the fights, keep it for the NFL if you like, and give your notice early.
