DAZN MENA named official domestic broadcaster for the Jockey Club of Saudi Arabia    


Thursday, 16th October 2025 – DAZN MENA has been appointed the official domestic broadcaster for all horse racing events under the Jockey Club of Saudi Arabia, beginning this Thursday, 16 October, and spanning 50 race days across the 2025/26 season. The partnership marks a significant step in DAZN’s expansion strategy within Saudi Arabia and the wider MENA region.

 

This new agreement follows last month’s announcement that DAZN, the world’s leading sports streaming and entertainment platform, is pushing to expand its rights portfolio in the region. Under the deal, DAZN MENA will deliver comprehensive domestic coverage of Saudi Arabia’s racing calendar, including key race days such as the prestigious $20m Saudi Cup.

 

The deal was brokered by international horse racing media rights agency, HBA Media. Further details regarding the new partnership will be revealed in the coming months.
