Get Ring V included with DAZN Ultimate Tier for major savings
DAZN's Ultimate Tier subscription includes a minimum of 12 PPV's a year, on top of the regular 185 fight nights offering.
Therefore signing up to DAZN Ultimate Tier would include The Ring V: Night of the Samurai and January's Ring VI: Teofimo Lopez vs. Shakur Stevenson PPV's. This means you would not need to purchase these PPV's individually at an extra cost.
Better still, more DAZN PPV events for the start of 2026 are expected to be revealed soon, which would also be included in DAZN Ultimate Tier.
Right now DAZN has a special offer with U.S. customers able to sign up for Ultimate Tier for just $39.99 per month for 12 months, reduced from $44.99 .
UK customers can subscribe for £18.99 per month for 12 months, reduced from £24.99. Sign up before January 2, 2026 to get this deal.
Based on buying 12 PPV's per year having a Ultimate Tier subscription instead can save £320 / $535 a year in US alone**.
**Savings calculated by comparing 12 months of DAZN Monthly Flex plus 12 pay-per-view events per year against 12 months of DAZN Ultimate at launch price.
