Paramount+ Scores German Champions League Rights from DAZN in 2027
In the German market, DAZN currently holds the primary broadcast rights for the UEFA Champions League until 2027, with Amazon Prime Video streaming the exclusive Tuesday headline game. For the subsequent 2027/28 to 2030/31 cycle, Paramount+ will take over as the main broadcaster. Amazon Prime Video will continue its role in the new cycle, showing the Wednesday headline match.
Key Takeaways
- Paramount+ will be the main Champions League broadcaster in Germany for the 2027/28 through 2030/31 seasons.
- The new deal displaces current rights-holder DAZN, whose agreement defines it as the "home of the UEFA Champions League" until 2027.
- Amazon Prime Video retains its package of one exclusive headline match per week, which will move from Tuesdays to Wednesdays starting in 2027.
Why It Matters
Securing Champions League rights is a major content play for Paramount+ in the German market, giving it a key subscriber acquisition tool starting in 2027. The shift displaces DAZN as Germany's primary carrier for the competition, a central part of its current sports offering. Meanwhile, Amazon Prime Video's role is reconfirmed, ensuring it keeps a weekly premium exclusive despite the change in the main broadcast partner. Watch for how Paramount+ prices and bundles these rights into its service in Germany as the 2027/28 season approaches.
