Italy’s competition watchdog starts probe into TIM deal with DAZN on Serie A

MILAN: Italy’s antitrust regulator said on Thursday it had opened a probe into a deal between sports streaming app DAZN and Telecom Italia (TIM) on Serie A matches to assess whether it would hurt competition.

Telecom Italia sealed a technical and distribution agreement with DAZN, which secured the rights to screen the matches of Italy’s top flight soccer league over the next three season for 2.5 billion euros ($2.95 billion).
