Global sports streaming service DAZN is laying off approximately 50 employees at its London headquarters, representing about 5% of its UK workforce and 2% of its global team of over 2,500. The redundancies, announced in late May 2022, are part of a strategic shift to decentralize operations and focus on growth in key markets like Spain, Italy, and Germany. Concurrently, DAZN is hiring around 50 new staff in Spain ahead of the La Liga season launch, indicating a realignment rather than a simple downsizing. The company, which has expanded rapidly since its 2016 launch to operate in 200 countries, continues to invest in sports rights and regional expansion despite these organizational adjustments.
