EVENTS A YEAR  



Perform, the world's leading digital sports content and media group, today launches
its DAZN service in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.



DAZN is the world's first truly dedicated live sports streaming service, providing
fans with unlimited access to watch the widest array of live and on demand sport on

service for free for the first month.



As of today, DAZN gives sports fans live access to some of the best sports tournaments
in the world, including exclusive access to the Premier League starting with this
Saturday's Premier League opener between Champions Leicester City and Hull City, as well
as every match live from La Liga, Serie A and Ligue 1, plus highlights of every match from
Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2. That's every goal from every game across the top five
European football leagues.



DAZN offers fans the widest array of live sports ever on one TV service with over
8,000 live events a year; including NBA, NFL, Tennis, Motorsports, Boxing, Ice Hockey,
Rugby, Darts and much more.



Not only will fans now have access to some of the best tournaments, but they will also
have complete control over what, where and how they watch. No matter how many matches are
playing, DAZN allows viewers to choose between them all and will help guide viewers, based
on their sporting preferences.



The service is available on virtually any connected device, including Smart TVs,
personal computers, tablets, smartphones and games consoles. DAZN's immersive playback
experience also allows customers to pause and rewind live matches and watch games in full
HD with Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 surround sound.



Simon Denyer, Chief Executive of Perform Group, said: "At DAZN, we put fans first and
in control. German sports fans can choose to watch the sport they love whenever and
wherever they like, with no long-term fixed contract and no advertising, for just EUR9.99.



"By joining DAZN, fans will enjoy an unparalleled streaming experience, with more live
sport available than any service before. Incredible moments in sport happen every day, not
just during the major events." 



"We won't make the broadcasting choices for you," Denyer, continued. "As a subscriber
you'll have the freedom to set your own sporting agenda. We're delivering something very
different."
