not sure they will be able to keep their stream unlocked for those games :mumble: :fingers:

DAZN is very good at whining against their events being broadcasted for free elsewhere :bones:

in any case, I'm well covered with my Japanese IPTV (which I'm using for the NPB playoffs)

p.s. earlier Today, I made a nice discover...with a free dazn account and my vpn (express vpn), I can have access to all the free content of the international versions of dazn, too :yikes: (excluded those in the European Union, because of some stupid rules which lead to see always your local version in all the EU States :facepalm: )

so, I can watch all the free content from the Canadian and/or Japanese dazn, for instance :lol:
