Weeks after it announced an expansion into Spain, the U.K.-based service DAZN laid the foundation for a 2019 rollout in Latin America’s largest economy, which will include coverage of the incredibly popular Copa Sudamericana and exclusive rights to France’s Ligue 1 and Italy’s Serie A. The “Netflix of sports,” as the company is sometimes called, is teaming up with Facebook and Youtube in advance of the launch, and will show live matches in soccer-hungry Brazil of Paris Saint-Germain and Turin, Italy-based Juventus, two of the world’s most popular clubs.

Talking point: Canada has been an important early market for DAZN (pronounced “Da Zone”), and earlier this year the company announced it had bested Bell Media’s TSN in acquiring exclusive Canadian rights to the UEFA Champions League, soccer’s most prestigious club tournament. The company’s continuing global expansion, however, pits it against one of the world’s most powerful tech firms, Amazon: the American online retailer has shown an increasing interest in sports streaming, and earlier this year broke the stranglehold on English soccer broadcasts by Sky and BT when it secured the rights to 20 Premier League matches.
