What's available

DAZN is accessible in South Africa, though the library is more limited than what subscribers in Europe or North America enjoy. You can stream a solid selection of boxing matches, including featured bouts from the DAZN Boxing schedule, plus some MMA content. South African subscribers also get access to select NFL Game Pass content, highlights, and replays. Combat sports dominate the catalogue here, with events featuring fighters like Anthony Joshua and Canelo Álvarez available on demand after their broadcast dates.

What you're missing

Compared to the US or UK library, South African subscribers miss out on a significant amount of content. You won't find live NFL Sunday Ticket coverage, LaLiga football, Serie A, or Bundesliga matches that are available in other regions. Original series like 40 Days: Canelo vs. Jacobs and exclusive documentaries such as KSI: The Untold Story are either unavailable or delayed. Live Premier Boxing Champions events and full fight cards from Top Rank Boxing are also restricted. Essentially, if live football or full original programming is your priority, you're getting a stripped-down experience.

How to access other regions

A VPN lets you change your virtual location and unlock the DAZN library available in other countries. Here's how to do it:

  • Subscribe to a reliable VPN service — we recommend NordVPN as the top choice for streaming.
  • Connect to a US or UK server before opening DAZN.
  • Log in to your DAZN account or create a new one using the region-appropriate details.
  • Stream the full library as if you were located in that country.

NordVPN works consistently with DAZN, offers fast server speeds for buffer-free streaming, and has servers in all the key DAZN regions including the US, UK, Canada, and Germany.

Pricing

DAZN does not currently offer a localised ZAR pricing plan for South Africa. You'll likely be billed in USD, with standard plans running approximately $19.99 per month or $99.99 per year. Pricing can vary depending on which regional storefront you access, so check the DAZN website directly for the most current rates.

Our recommendation

If you're a boxing fan in South Africa, DAZN offers decent value for catching big fights on demand. However, if you want the full experience — live football, original series, and complete fight cards — you should pair your subscription with NordVPN connected to a US or UK server. That combination gives you access to everything DAZN has to offer without being locked into the limited South African catalogue.
