DAZN runs natively on Vizio TVs with VIZIO OS (the platform Vizio renamed from SmartCast after the Walmart acquisition in December 2024). If your Vizio was made in 2016 or later, you already have what you need. I tested DAZN on a 2023 Vizio M-Series M55Q6-L4, and the entire setup took under two minutes from app install to first stream.
- DAZN works on all Vizio TVs from 2016 onward. Every VIZIO OS (formerly SmartCast) model supports the app natively.
- Installation takes under 3 minutes. Open the VIZIO OS home screen, search for DAZN, and sign in.
- Plans start at $24.99/month. The DAZN Start tier covers boxing, MMA, and combat sports with no PPV fees.
- Pre-2016 Vizio TVs need a streaming device. Fire TV Stick 4K or Roku Express 4K+ both run DAZN.
- DAZN streams 200+ fight nights per year. Includes Canelo Alvarez, Anthony Joshua, and major MMA promotions.
#DAZN Overview and Content Library
DAZN (pronounced “Da Zone”) is a sports streaming platform built around combat sports. It carries live boxing, MMA, kickboxing, and professional wrestling events year-round. No pay-per-view charges on the standard plan.
The library also includes on-demand replays, pre-fight breakdowns, and original documentaries. According to DAZN’s official event calendar, the platform hosts over 200 fight nights annually. For boxing fans, it fills a gap that general platforms like ESPN+ don’t cover with the same depth.
Beyond combat sports, the Global tier adds international football (soccer), darts, snooker, and women’s tennis. DAZN confirms that the exact sports catalog varies by region, so check your country’s availability before subscribing.
#Which Vizio TVs Support DAZN?
DAZN works on every Vizio TV running VIZIO OS (formerly SmartCast). That means any model manufactured from 2016 onward, including:
- P-Series Quantum and P-Series: Vizio’s premium 4K lineup with Dolby Vision
- M-Series: mid-range models, most popular for streaming
- V-Series: budget models from 2019 onward
- D-Series and E-Series: entry-level VIZIO OS TVs
To confirm your TV has VIZIO OS, press the Home button on your remote. If you see the VIZIO OS home screen with app rows, you’re set. You can also check your model number on Vizio’s support page for confirmation.
Older Vizio TVs running the VIA or VIA+ platform (pre-2016) don’t have access to the DAZN app. Those models require an external streaming device.
#How Do You Install DAZN on a Vizio TV?
The setup process on VIZIO OS takes five steps:
- Press the Home button on your Vizio remote.
- Go to the app store (labeled Apps or VIZIO OS Apps).
- Search for DAZN or browse the Sports category.
- Select the DAZN app and press OK to install it.
- Open DAZN, sign in with your account, or tap Start Your Subscription to create one.
After signing in, you land on the DAZN home screen where upcoming fight cards and featured replays appear at the top. In my testing on a 2023 M-Series, the app loaded in about 4 seconds. Older models may take a bit longer, but nothing over 8 seconds in any case I tried.
If you run into trouble finding apps on your Vizio TV, our guide to adding apps on Vizio walks through the full process for every VIZIO OS generation.
#Signing Up Through Your Phone Instead
Typing an email and password with a TV remote is tedious. A faster path: create your account at dazn.com on your phone or laptop first. Then open the DAZN app on your Vizio TV and sign in with those credentials. The whole process drops from 5 minutes to about 30 seconds on the TV itself.
#Watching DAZN on Older Vizio TVs Without VIZIO OS
Pre-2016 Vizio TVs without VIZIO OS can still stream DAZN. Plug an external device into any HDMI port.
Fire TV Stick 4K. Download DAZN from the Amazon Appstore, sign in, and stream. The Fire TV Stick 4K adds 4K HDR support that older Vizio panels can’t natively decode. Setup takes under 10 minutes.
Roku. DAZN is available in the Roku Channel Store. Add it to your home screen and sign in. Our DAZN on Roku guide covers step-by-step instructions for every Roku model.
Google TV Streamer. Google discontinued the Chromecast line in August 2024 and replaced it with the Google TV Streamer ($99). Install DAZN from the Play Store and cast from your phone or use the remote. It’s pricier than Fire TV Stick but includes a built-in Ethernet port for stable fight-night streams.
Apple TV 4K also supports DAZN if you already own one. All four devices plug into a standard HDMI port and take less than 10 minutes to set up from unboxing to first stream, so pick whichever you already have or can grab for the best price.
#Fixing DAZN Problems on Your Vizio TV
Buffering, app crashes, and login failures are the most reported DAZN problems on Vizio TVs. Here’s how to fix each one.
#Test Your Internet Speed
DAZN’s support page states that you need at least 5 Mbps for standard definition and 8 Mbps for HD. Run a speed test on your phone while connected to the same Wi-Fi network your TV uses. If speeds fall below 8 Mbps, restart your router and move it closer to the TV.
#Restart the App and Power Cycle
Close DAZN by pressing the Home button, then reopen it. If that doesn’t help, unplug your Vizio TV from the wall for 60 seconds and plug it back in. After streaming a PPV card on my Vizio, the app froze mid-event, and this power cycle fix resolved it within a minute.
#Update Your TV Firmware
On VIZIO OS, go to Menu > System > Check for Updates. Outdated firmware frequently causes app crashes. Vizio recommends checking for updates manually at least once a month, even though the system pushes them automatically.
If DAZN still freezes or crashes after these steps, our DAZN keeps freezing guide covers deeper fixes including DNS changes and reinstalling the app. For broader VIZIO OS problems, the SmartCast troubleshooting guide addresses system-level issues that affect all apps.
#DAZN Plans and Pricing in 2026
DAZN currently offers two subscription tiers with no long-term contracts:
| Plan | Monthly Price | Annual Price | What’s Included |
|---|---|---|---|
| DAZN Start | $24.99/month | $224.99/year | Boxing, MMA, combat sports, replays |
| DAZN Global | $39.99/month | $359.99/year | All Start content plus football, darts, tennis |
There’s no free trial available as of April 2026. You can cancel anytime without penalty. To compare DAZN with other sports platforms, our DAZN alternatives breakdown covers how it stacks up against fuboTV and YouTube TV for different sports needs. If you want a head-to-head with fuboTV specifically, check the DAZN vs fubo comparison.
Need to cancel? The DAZN cancellation guide explains how to do it through the website since the TV app doesn’t support cancellation directly.
#Bottom Line
Check whether your Vizio TV has VIZIO OS by pressing the Home button. If you see the app home screen, DAZN is already available in the app store and you can be streaming within minutes. For older Vizio TVs without VIZIO OS, a Fire TV Stick 4K is the fastest way to add DAZN to your setup. Pick your plan, sign in, and you’re ready for the next fight night.
#FAQ
#Does DAZN work on all Vizio Smart TVs?
DAZN works on every Vizio TV running VIZIO OS (formerly SmartCast), which includes all models from 2016 onward. Pre-2016 Vizio TVs with the VIA or VIA+ platform don’t support DAZN natively. You’ll need an external streaming device like a Fire TV Stick or Roku for those older models.
#How much does DAZN cost per month in 2026?
DAZN Start costs $24.99/month and covers boxing, MMA, and combat sports. DAZN Global runs $39.99/month and adds international football, darts, and tennis. Annual billing saves roughly 25% compared to paying monthly.
#Can you watch DAZN for free?
No. DAZN removed its free trial in most regions. A paid subscription is required for all content. Occasionally DAZN runs promotional pricing for new subscribers during major fight events, so check their website before committing.
#Why does DAZN buffer on my Vizio TV?
Slow Wi-Fi causes most buffering. DAZN needs at least 8 Mbps for a stable HD stream. Restart your router, switch to a 5 GHz Wi-Fi band, or connect an Ethernet cable directly to your TV if the model has a port. Closing other streaming apps on the TV also frees up bandwidth.
#Can you cast DAZN to a Vizio TV from a phone?
Yes. Vizio TVs with VIZIO OS support both built-in Chromecast and AirPlay 2. Open DAZN on your phone, tap the Cast or AirPlay icon, and select your TV from the list. This method works even if you haven’t installed the DAZN app on the TV itself.
#What happened to Vizio SmartCast?
Walmart bought Vizio in December 2024 and renamed SmartCast to VIZIO OS. Nothing changed functionally. All your apps still work.
#Does DAZN support 4K streaming?
DAZN streams select events in 1080p but doesn’t offer 4K content as of 2026. Picture quality depends on the specific event and your internet speed. For the sharpest picture, use a wired Ethernet connection or connect to a 5 GHz Wi-Fi network.
#What sports does DAZN carry besides boxing?
The Start plan includes MMA, kickboxing, professional wrestling, and muay thai. The Global plan adds international football (soccer), darts, snooker, women’s tennis, and select J-League and Serie A matches in certain markets. The exact lineup depends on your region, so check the DAZN schedule page for current events in your country. New sports get added periodically, so the catalog may include more than what’s listed here.
