DAZN struggles to find terrestrial offload as BBC and ITV turn back on Club World Cup rights
April 7 – England claims to be the home of football, but this summer, it won’t be the home of the FIFA Club World Cup (CWC) after both the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), and their rivals, Independent Television (ITV) declined to move forward in televising the competition to be held in the United States.
While broadcaster DAZN has the global rights after paying a reported $1bn (£787m) to FIFA, they have also agreed to sublicense the tournament to key football territories in a bid to gain a large audience share.
