According to Het Nieuwsblad, DAZN and the Pro League are in the middle of a standoff. The broadcast of the championship depends on a decision by CEPANI.
What was supposed to be a stable partnership turns into a legal battle. DAZN, in difficulty on the Belgian market, failed to generate the revenue it hoped for from TV rights, which added fuel to the fire with the Pro League.
DAZN chose to continue its broadcasts to calm supporters. But behind this facade, the situation is fragile according to Het Nieuwsblad. The Pro League requested the intervention of CEPANI to force the streaming service to meet its financial commitments.
What does that mean?
DAZN promises that the meetings will be visible “until the end of the season”, while letting us understand that things could change quickly. The platform explains that it will offer another formula if the matches disappear from its offer.
Pro League and Challenger Pro League clubs are worried. They are counting on the money that DAZN has to pay and if these payments stop, several budgets could be at risk.
Belgian football is broadcast, but there is no guarantee that it will last. The situation may change at any time in the coming weeks.
