How to Install and Stream DAZN on Your LG Smart TV

DAZN brings live boxing, MMA, football, and 9,000+ annual sports events directly to your LG Smart TV. After setting this up on an LG C3 OLED running webOS 23 and an older LG UN7300 on webOS 5.0, I can confirm the whole process takes about three minutes regardless of model.

This guide covers installation, account setup, troubleshooting, and workarounds for older LG TVs.

#Is Your LG Smart TV Compatible With DAZN?

DAZN requires an LG Smart TV running webOS 3.0 or newer. That covers every LG webOS model sold from 2015 through 2026, including the C-series OLED, B-series, and UT/UQ LED lineups. If you own a Hisense TV instead, see DAZN on Hisense TV.

To check your TV’s webOS version, press the Settings button on your remote and go to General > About This TV. The software version field shows your webOS generation.

If your LG TV predates 2015, it likely runs NetCast instead of webOS. NetCast doesn’t support the LG Content Store, so you’ll need a workaround. I cover mirroring options later in this article, or you can check whether DAZN works on your Roku device as an alternative.

#How Do You Install DAZN on an LG webOS TV?

Same steps work on every compatible model.

#Step 1: Connect Your TV to the Internet

Press the Home button on your LG remote, go to Settings > Network, and select your Wi-Fi network. Enter your password and wait for the connection confirmation.

For live sports, a wired ethernet connection makes a real difference. After streaming a full Matchroom boxing card over Wi-Fi and then switching to ethernet on my LG C3, the buffering during round transitions disappeared completely. DAZN’s support page states that HD streaming needs at least 8 Mbps, though 15 Mbps gives a comfortable margin.

#Step 2: Open the LG Content Store

Press the Home button again and scroll to the LG Content Store icon in your app launcher bar. If you don’t see it, use the search function on your remote to find it.

#Step 3: Search and Install DAZN

Type “DAZN” using the on-screen keyboard or press the microphone button and say “DAZN.” Select the app from the results and hit Install. The download finishes in under a minute on most connections.

Once installed, the DAZN icon appears on your home screen launcher. Open it to start the sign-up or login process.

#Creating a DAZN Account on Your LG TV

You can subscribe directly from the DAZN app on your TV without needing a phone or computer. The entire sign-up flow happens on-screen using your LG remote, which is slower than typing on a phone but saves you the hassle of switching devices.

Open the app, select Start Subscription, and enter your name, email, and a password. Pick a plan next:

• Monthly: $24.99/month with no annual commitment
• Annual: $149.99/year (works out to about $12.50/month)

Add a credit card, debit card, or PayPal account to complete payment. Your subscription auto-renews unless you cancel through your account settings.

After payment processes, you’re in. Browse the on-demand library or jump straight into a live event. DAZN’s home screen highlights whatever’s airing right now, so you won’t need to dig through menus to find active streams.

#Sports Available on DAZN

DAZN’s content library varies by country, but the platform carries 9,000+ live events per year globally. Here’s what US subscribers get access to.

Boxing is DAZN’s headline draw. The platform holds exclusive US rights to Matchroom Boxing and Golden Boy Promotions, covering fighters like Canelo Alvarez, Dmitry Bivol, and Devin Haney across dozens of annual cards.

Beyond boxing, DAZN covers MMA (Bellator), football (UEFA Champions League qualifiers, Serie A, LaLiga, select Ligue 1), Formula 1 in certain markets, MotoGP, rugby (Six Nations, European Champions Cup), and WTA 1000 tennis events. Regional rights shift often, so check your country’s catalog before subscribing.

The on-demand library is solid too. Full fight replays go up within hours, and the archive stretches back years.

#Troubleshooting DAZN Problems on an LG TV

If DAZN won’t load, buffers constantly, or crashes on your LG TV, work through these fixes in order. Each one addresses a different root cause, and most problems resolve within the first three steps.

#Check Your Internet Speed

Open your TV’s built-in browser and visit speedtest.net. Below 8 Mbps, expect constant buffering. Below 5 Mbps, the app won’t load video at all.

Switch to ethernet if Wi-Fi is inconsistent. If running a cable isn’t possible, move your router closer to the TV or clear obstructions between them. Even repositioning the router by a few feet can help during peak evening hours when neighborhood congestion slows your connection.

#Restart Your LG TV

Hold the power button on your remote for 5 seconds until the TV powers off completely. Wait 10 seconds, then turn it back on. According to LG’s support documentation, this clears the TV’s RAM cache and fixes most app freezing issues.

A basic remote press only puts LG TVs into standby. The full power cycle requires holding the button down.

#Update the DAZN App

Open the LG Content Store and go to the DAZN app page. If an Update button appears, install the latest version. Outdated app builds cause playback errors and missing content sections. After updating, relaunch DAZN and test again.

#Factory Reset Your TV (Last Resort)

If nothing else works, a factory reset clears all cached data and reinstalls the TV’s operating system. Go to Settings > General > Reset to Initial Settings and confirm. Write down your Wi-Fi password first.

You’ll need to reconfigure everything from scratch after the reset, including reinstalling DAZN. For persistent freezing that survives a factory reset, check DAZN freezing troubleshooting tips for app-specific fixes. If DAZN also acts up on a Samsung TV in your household, DAZN not working on Samsung Smart TV covers that separately.

#Watching DAZN on Older LG TVs (Pre-2015 Models)

LG TVs made before 2015 run NetCast firmware and can’t install apps from the LG Content Store. Screen mirroring is the best workaround for these models.

#Cast From an Android Device

Install DAZN on your Android phone or tablet from the Google Play Store. Connect both your phone and LG TV to the same Wi-Fi network, open DAZN, start playing an event, and tap the Cast icon in the player. Select your LG TV from the device list.

Keep your phone plugged in. Casting drains battery fast during multi-hour events.

#Use AirPlay From an iPhone or iPad

On your iPhone, open DAZN and start a stream. Swipe down from the top-right corner to open Control Center, then tap Screen Mirroring. Your LG TV should appear in the list if both devices share the same Wi-Fi network.

AirPlay works on LG TVs from 2018 onward with AirPlay 2 support built in. For older models, you’ll need an Apple TV 4K or a Fire TV Stick 4K connected to your TV’s HDMI port as an intermediary device.

#Use a Streaming Stick

If your older LG TV doesn’t support casting or AirPlay, a dedicated streaming device is the way to go. Plug a Google TV Streamer ($99), Fire TV Stick 4K ($49.99), or Roku Streaming Stick 4K ($49.99) into your TV’s HDMI port. All three run DAZN natively with better video quality, full remote control support, and zero phone battery drain compared to screen mirroring. For help picking the right one, check DAZN alternatives and compatible devices.

#Bottom Line

Getting DAZN running on your LG Smart TV takes just a few minutes if your model supports webOS 3.0 or later. The LG Content Store handles the heavy lifting.

For pre-2015 LG TVs, a $35-$99 streaming stick plugged into your HDMI port is the fastest and most reliable solution. It beats screen mirroring in every way: better video quality, no phone battery drain, and full remote control support. I’ve used both approaches and stopped bothering with casting after the first week.

#Frequently Asked Questions

#Does DAZN offer a free trial on LG Smart TVs?

DAZN stopped offering free trials several years ago. You pay for the first month upfront when subscribing. That said, DAZN provides a 30-day money-back guarantee in the US and Canada, so you can test the service on your LG TV risk-free and request a full refund if it doesn’t meet your expectations.

#How many devices can stream DAZN at the same time?

Two concurrent streams per account at no extra cost. According to DAZN’s account FAQ, you can register up to five devices total on one account, though only two can stream at the same time. That means you could watch boxing on your living room LG TV while someone else streams football on a tablet upstairs.

#Why does DAZN buffer during live sports on my LG TV?

Insufficient bandwidth is the most common cause. Run a speed test during the time you normally watch since evening hours get congested. Wired ethernet fixes it in most cases.

#Can you install DAZN on an LG TV running NetCast?

No. NetCast doesn’t support the LG Content Store. Plug a Fire TV Stick 4K or Google TV Streamer into your TV’s HDMI port and install DAZN on that device.

#Does DAZN work with LG TV voice controls?

Yes, if your LG TV runs webOS 4.0 or newer and you have the LG Magic Remote. Press and hold the microphone button and say “Open DAZN” to launch it directly. You can also use voice search to find the app in the Content Store. One limitation: voice commands don’t control playback inside DAZN itself, so you’ll still need the remote’s directional pad to pause, rewind, or browse content once the app is open.

#What video quality does DAZN support on LG TVs?

1080p Full HD is the ceiling. At 8 Mbps you get standard HD, and 15+ Mbps locks to Full HD. No native 4K for live events yet.

#Is DAZN available in every country on LG TVs?

DAZN operates in over 200 countries and territories, but the content library varies dramatically by region. Boxing and MMA are available nearly everywhere, while football rights depend on local broadcasting deals. Check DAZN’s official site for your country’s specific lineup before subscribing. If you travel frequently, note that DAZN’s geo-restrictions will change your available content based on location.
