Dazn must resume €6.6m-a-month payments

It said agreement was not viable without carriage deal

Dazn has been ordered to honour the remainder of an €84.2m (£73.5m) TV deal with Belgium’s Pro League this season after the streaming service announced last month it was terminating the contract.

In a judgment from Belgium’s centre for arbitration and mediation (Cepani), sent to the clubs on Wednesday morning, Dazn has been told it must continue broadcasting and paying for the Pro League until 30 June, unless Cepani declares otherwise. That would cost it about €53m.

Dazn has also been ordered to pay 25% of the Pro League’s arbitration costs and warned that it will be fined €50,000 a day if it does not meet specified requirements.
