Streaming platform DAZN has been ordered to continue broadcasting Jupiler Pro League matches and to honour all contractual payments to the Pro League until the end of the 2025/26 season.

This decision came from Belgian arbitration body CEPANI following a dispute which arose in late November 2025, which saw DAZN declare it was terminating its contract, arguing that it was unable to secure a financially viable distribution deal with telcos.

Although continuing to broadcast the matches, it withheld its November payment, which prompted the Pro League to initiate urgent arbitration proceedings.

CEPANI ruled that DAZN must honour its obligations under the existing agreement in full. This includes continuing production and broadcast services, paying all outstanding and future instalments, implementing agreed anti-piracy and geo-blocking measures, and resuming negotiations with telecom operators to conclude distribution agreements.

Pro League CEO Lorin Party said the decision benefitted its fans, its clubs and Belgian football as a whole.

The measures remain in force until the end of the season or until an arbitration tribunal rules on interim measures in the main case, which is expected to begin in spring 2026 .
