The partnership also spans co-promotion, marketing, and advertising sales, creating new opportunities to grow audiences and maximize value for brand partners
TNT Sports and DAZN today announced a groundbreaking new partnership that will bring some of the biggest fights in boxing live to TNT Sports and DAZN platforms in the United States, creating a new series of premium events and expanding access for fans nationwide.
The collaboration will feature monthly major boxing events branded The Fight and promoted in partnership with the leading sports entertainment platform, DAZN, and its roster of premier boxing promoters, including Top Rank, Matchroom Boxing, Golden Boy Promotions, and Queensberry Promotions, among others. The first event is scheduled for Independence Day, Saturday, July 4, 2026, and will launch a showcase of elite boxing across TNT Sports and DAZN platforms. Details on participating fighters, venues, and broadcast schedules will be announced at a later date.
"DAZN has earned a strong reputation within the boxing community, and this will allow TNT Sports to be a player in this growing sport - expanding the reach of these events and the moments surrounding them - to an even broader audience," said Luis Silberwasser, Chairman & CEO, TNT Sports. "This builds on a successful production and commercial partnership with DAZN to showcase the FIFA Club World Cup last Summer and further expands TNT Sports' portfolio of year-round premium sports content."
Shay Segev, DAZN Group CEO, said: "DAZN's partnership with TNT Sports is an important new chapter for boxing in the U.S. By bringing together two leaders in sports media and collaborating with the world's top promoters, The Fight will deliver unprecedented access to major fight nights to boxing fans nationwide. This collaboration creates attractive commercial opportunities. It reflects our innovative approach to distribution and our shared ambition to grow the sport by making the biggest events in boxing more accessible than ever before."
Under the agreement, select fight nights will be presented across TNT Sports' U.S. networks and streamed globally on DAZN, bringing marquee matchups and championship bouts to a broad national audience. The partnership reflects DAZN's long-standing, open-door approach to distribution and shared vision with TNT Sports to bring championship boxing to a broader audience in the US. TNT Sports and DAZN will enhance the fan experience with expansive, co-produced studio programming and a deep commentating roster that will elevate the events for fans.
TNT Sports' networks and platforms, including Bleacher Report and House of Highlights, will produce and deliver additional content and original programming that brings fight fans closer to the action and drama of boxing. truTV will also serve as a meaningful platform for robust boxing content, airing additional live and shoulder programming to further elevate fight nights, including event weigh-ins, press conferences, features and original content, and more.
Along with creating memorable moments for fans with each fight night, TNT Sports and DAZN will collaborate on cross-promotion, marketing, and advertising sales. Leveraging their collective reach and innovation, these two industry leaders will create a seamless, multi-platform experience that delivers maximum value for brand partners. TNT Sports and DAZN teams will work together across The Fight, pay-per-view events, and subscription programming, creating a more streamlined way for brands to invest in boxing and activate across a broad, unified rights portfolio.
Through its partnerships with many of the sport's top promoters, DAZN has established itself as a global destination for boxing. These promotions deliver a year-round slate of high-profile fight nights featuring many of boxing's biggest stars and rising contenders. With this new union, these relationships - marquee, cross-promotional fights - will be accessible to more viewers than ever before.
TNT Sports and DAZN previously collaborated on a successful multi-faceted partnership across the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, which delivered breakthrough results for advertising partners and a premium experience for fans around the inaugural edition of the expanded event. This new agreement applies exclusively to the United States and represents a new collaboration between two leaders in sports media committed to delivering premium live sports experiences to fans wherever they watch.
