Eleven Sports' business model initially centred around the acquisition of major international sports rights in smaller countries. The company operates a network of linear television and/or digital services, broadcasting a mix of premium, niche, and grassroots sports as well as original programming, and provided SaaS livestreaming services.
In September 2022, Eleven Sports was acquired by DAZN Group. Its business operations were subsequently integrated into relevant operations of its own sports streaming platform DAZN.
