In January 2025, owner Len Blavatnik invested an additional $827 million into the company, bringing his total investment to more than $6.7 billion since its founding. The latest injection signals Blavatnik's continued backing as DAZN pursues profitability amid expansion initiatives. For FY2023, DAZN reported revenue of $2.9 billion (up 30% from $2.2 billion in 2022) alongside an operating loss of $830 million; by year-end 2023, the company had approximately 300 million monthly customers but only about 20 million paying subscribers. CEO Shay Segev stated that DAZN is profitable in most of its top-ten markets and projected revenues to surpass $6 billion in 2025, supported by the $2.2 billion acquisition of Australian pay-TV operator Foxtel and a $1 billion FIFA deal for rights to the 2025 Club World Cup.
