Is DAZN a scam?
DAZN isn't a scam in the sense of taking money and delivering nothing — it does stream real live sport, and plenty of reviewers say the boxing and football coverage is genuinely good. But a large number of reviewers describe being charged after they believed they'd cancelled, or locked into a longer commitment than they thought they signed up for, which is exactly the kind of billing behavior that makes people use the word 'scam.' Go in expecting an annual-style commitment and read the cancellation terms closely before you subscribe.

Is DAZN legit?
DAZN is a real, licensed sports broadcaster, not a fly-by-night operation — it holds actual rights to boxing, football and other live sport. The legitimacy concern most reviewers raise isn't about the content, it's about billing: several describe being signed up for a longer commitment than they realized, or dealing with unhelpful, auto-generated customer service when something goes wrong. Treat it as a real service with a genuinely aggressive subscription model, not as fraud.
DO NOT SIGN UP WITH DAZN - very dubious company with poor customer service Bought a boxing PPV mistakenly thinking it was a one month subscription - and then later have been unable to cancel goodwill or otherwise. I've signed up for plenty of subscriptions before, this is designed in a deliberately misleading way in order to get you to sign up to a subscription you can't get out for for 12 months. Then when dealing with customer service you get an auto generated response. Avoid at all costs.

Why is it so hard to cancel a DAZN subscription?
A recurring complaint is that cancelling isn't a simple in-app toggle — reviewers describe being sent password-reset links instead of a cancellation flow, having to go through multiple screens of retention offers, or finding that cancellation only takes effect at the end of a locked-in term rather than immediately. If you're trying to cancel, expect to need persistence and to check your next billing date carefully rather than assuming a single tap ends it.
I would not recommend DAZN based on my experience. Trying to cancel my subscription has been incredibly frustrating. Instead of letting me cancel, I keep getting password reset links, and I'm unable to access the cancellation process. It feels like they're making it harder than it should be to unsubscribe. A company should make cancelling as easy as signing up. Very disappointing customer experience.

Does DAZN keep charging me after I cancel?
Some reviewers report being billed again after they thought they'd successfully cancelled, sometimes for a full month or more they say they never used. This tends to happen alongside the cancellation difficulties above, so the safest approach is to confirm cancellation in writing or check your account status again shortly after cancelling, and to watch your card statement for the next billing cycle.

Do I still have to pay extra for PPV fights if I already have a DAZN subscription?
Yes — multiple reviewers describe paying a monthly or annual subscription and then discovering that specific pay-per-view boxing events are billed separately on top of it. This isn't a hidden bug, it's how DAZN packages its biggest fight cards, but reviewers clearly feel misled by it, especially when the subscription itself is already priced as a premium sports package.
Pay £30 per month, but they expect you to pay £19.99 to watch the Joshua fight on top. Why pay the monthly subscription?

Why does the DAZN app keep freezing or lagging?
Beyond the billing complaints, a separate cluster of reviewers describe the app itself as buggy — freezing mid-stream, lagging when switching networks, or crashing during live events. This appears often enough that it looks like a real reliability issue with the app rather than an isolated device problem, so it's worth checking recent reviews for your specific device before assuming a fix is imminent.
Buggy and Broken Aesthetically the design looks good but there are so many bugs. Should prioritize good development rather than just the cheapest methods you can find. Truly the worst app there is. if I could cancel my subscription faster I would. they spoil game scores non stop on top of having the most broken backend. I would never recommend this app to anyone.
