As a result, DAZN began to distribute NFL Sunday Ticket to television providers in October 2017, as had been the case before.

==Serie A in Italy==
In September 2021, Italian consumer group Codacons threatened a class action lawsuit against DAZN to revoke its broadcasting rights for Serie A football, after complaints of service blackouts. Italian telecommunications regulator AGCOM and the country's antitrust body opened investigations into the service. Italian undersecretary for sport Valentina Vezzali said: "We are monitoring the situation so that everything can be resolved for the benefit of the users, who are the ones who want to see their teams on television and cheer for their favorite team."{{cite web |last=Saleh |first=Tariq |title=Consumer group in legal threat to DAZN over Serie A coverage issues |url=https://www.sportcal.com/media/consumer-group-in-legal-threat-to-dazn-over-serie-a-coverage-issues/?cf-view |website=Sportcal |date=27 September 2021 |access-date=3 December 2023 |archive-date=3 December 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231203073156/https://www.sportcal.com/media/consumer-group-in-legal-threat-to-dazn-over-serie-a-coverage-issues/}}
DAZN continued to suffer technical issues during the season opening day of Serie A in August 2022, and was condemned by multiple Italian politicians and Italy's consumer protection organization Udicon. AGCOM also intervened, leading to DAZN issuing an apology, and offering compensations to affected customers.{{cite web |last=Thomson |first=Stuart |title=DAZN hit by storm of criticism after renewed Serie A problems |url=https://www.digitaltveurope.com/2022/08/17/dazn-hit-by-storm-of-criticism-after-renewed-serie-a-problems/ |website=Digital TV Europe |date=17 August 2022 |access-date=3 December 2023 |archive-date=26 September 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220926222809/https://www.digitaltveurope.com/2022/08/17/dazn-hit-by-storm-of-criticism-after-renewed-serie-a-problems/}}

= Business ethics =
DAZN has been accused of unethical business conduct.
In 2023, their monthly subscription was advertised at $19.99/month, however, subscribers were locked into a 12-month contract (The details of which are disclosed in the fine print), and were not allowed to cancel until the end of the 12 months. The monthly subscription plan, called "Flexible Pass" and priced at $24.99/month, required 30 days' notice in-advance of cancellation. The service would otherwise continue for another 30 days from when the user cancels, and the user would be charged on a pro-rate basis for excess time beyond the billing cycle. Only the yearly subscription would cancel at the end of the billing cycle regardless of when the user unsubscribes.{{cite web |title=DAZN streaming service: Reviving one of cable's worst features |url=https://www.techhive.com/article/1991899/dazn-streaming-service-reviving-one-of-cables-worst-features.html |website=TechHive |date=13 July 2023 |access-date=3 December 2023 |archive-date=3 August 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230803193932/https://www.techhive.com/article/1991899/dazn-streaming-service-reviving-one-of-cables-worst-features.html}}
DAZN was sued by the German Federal Association of Consumer Organizations (VZBV) over the alleged use of non-transparent contract clauses that allowed DAZN to make excessive contractual changes, including price adjustments. The Munich I Regional Court largely agreed with the VZBV, upholding many of the complaints.{{cite web |title=Klage des vzbv gegen DAZN erfolgreich |url=https://www.vzbv.de/urteile/klage-des-vzbv-gegen-dazn-erfolgreich |website=TechHive |date=30 June 2023 |access-date=3 February 2024}}
