James Pearce, SVP Broadcast and Streaming at DAZN, emphasized the importance of reliability and adaptability in delivering such a global event seamlessly.

The advanced capabilities of MK.IO enabled DAZN to manage end-to-end video workflows and dynamically scale their operations based on match schedules and global demand. With this upgrade, DAZN’s growth was supported, and their operations were streamlined on a scalable and resilient platform.

MediaKind’s CEO, Allen Broome, expressed pride in collaborating with DAZN to bring this tournament to fans worldwide, setting a new standard for cloud-powered sports streaming. The success of MK.IO in handling the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 showcased the platform’s ability to provide scale, simplicity, and reliability for delivering exceptional live experiences.

In addition to supporting the tournament, DAZN has selected MediaKind’s cloud-connected technology as the primary solution for its 24/7 linear channel processing, with plans for further scaling in the future. This partnership between DAZN and MediaKind highlights the importance of cutting-edge technology in revolutionizing the streaming experience for global audiences.
