Encompass Digital Media has today announced that it has been delivering a complex global services project for DAZN, the world s leading sports entertainment platform, in support of its coverage of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 . By delivering a seamless and resilient experience across linear broadcast and OTT platforms, Encompass supports live and on-demand viewing across multiple regions through playout, live channel origination, cloud-based streaming, IP distribution and satellite-based resilience services.
The FIFA Club World Cup brings together 32 of the most successful clubs from every continent to compete in a single tournament spanning 63 matches. DAZN is the exclusive global broadcast partner, delivering every match live and free to fans worldwide - a historic first for a men's international club football tournament.
The tournament marks a milestone in Encompass's long-standing relationship with DAZN, and, with delivery required across multiple territories, underlines its capabilities as a trusted delivery partner for large-scale, technically complex, high-value live sports. Throughout the event, live playout is managed from Encompass's Stamford, Connecticut facility, where its team handles workflows across three channels, integrating late-breaking content, graphics, advertising and event-specific requirements.
Reactive playout services are being delivered continuously across the live window on each matchday and then transition to thematic operations overnight. AI-generated captions, provided in partnership with AI Media, are also integrated into all feeds. Encompass's Stream TV product is architected to deliver 100% availability and provides OTT direct-to-consumer distribution for three linear channels (North America, Rest of World, and Latin America) via its Altitude Media Cloud. The channels are encoded, packaged and delivered directly to DAZN's audience.
Encompass also handles IP distribution to seven international affiliates, using a highly resilient setup monitored 24/7 from its bespoke London facility. The service, which replaces traditional satellite-based delivery with a fully internet-native approach, ensures high-quality broadcast output to licensees in regions including Australia, Europe and the US.
As an additional layer of resilience, Encompass provides satellite downlink capabilities from the UK and the US, designed to enable DAZN to maintain access to live content in the event of fibre or IP disruption. Encompass's integration of traditional master control and broadcast engineering with modern cloud, IP and OTT services is backed by the scale and expertise of its skilled operational teams and technical resources, enabling it to meet the real-time demands of live Tier 1 sports.
Delivering a project of this complexity on a global scale is exactly the kind of challenge we're built for, said Marc Bruce, CEO of Encompass. Our ability to integrate playout, OTT and IP distribution with built-in resilience is central to the success of this tournament. We're proud to support DAZN in delivering an exceptional experience for football fans around the world.
Encompass has been a longstanding partner to DAZN. Their ability to rapidly implement a robust, multi-layered broadcast architecture for DAZN's live and free broadcasting of the FIFA Club World Cup to football fans around the world is an important part of our operational success, said James Pearce, SVP Broadcast and Streaming at DAZN. Encompass are delivering a high-performance and reliable technical solution with the level of resilience required for an event of this significance and scale.
