DAZN has #chess now?!😲 For those not familiar, #DAZN bills itself as the "Netflix of sports". When it launched in #Japan years ago, it had broadcasting rights for #NFL, #tennis, #boxing, numerous #soccer leagues, #NPB (#Japanese pro #baseball), #NBA, and #MLB. DAZN has since lost NBA & MLB but retained rights for all other leagues.
I've criticized the service before over coverage of "niche" #sports like #darts & #eSports, but my views have evolved.
