Soccer fans in the United States wanting to watch the 2019 AFC Asian Cup can now watch the remainder of the tournament for free via the legal streaming service DAZN.

DAZN has acquired the U.S. rights to the competition for the quarterfinals to the final, which kick off on Thursday and Friday featuring Vietnam-Japan, China-Iran, South Korea-Qatar and UAE-Australia, which you can also stream to your TV.

You can start your free 30-day trial to DAZN, which also includes access to boxing (from Bellator to Matchroom Boxing to World Boxing Super Series to Combate Americas) as well as J-League, Liga Chilena and AFC Champions League.

Pronounced “Da Zone,” the new streaming service hired former ESPN President John Skipper last May. In the past few months, DAZN has been actively entering discussions to try to acquire more soccer rights, according to World Soccer Talk sources.

The addition of the Asian Cup rights could be the beginning of more rights deals being announced in the near future.

In addition to the U.S. rights to the Asian Cup, Canadian soccer fans can also start a free 30-day trial to DAZN Canada to watch the Asian Cup.

Here’s the 2019 Asian Cup streaming schedule (all kickoff times listed are in the Eastern United States timezone):

For me it is slow, video freeze, and lagging network connection.

Thank you. Does anyone know if they also will show games as replays? I've got a meeting smack in the middle of the Iran_Japan game and would love to be able to access on-demand play.

Yes they do. There is a replay for the Iran-China game.

Bookmark our TM thread, you just need to ask and ensure whatever link you click on doesn't show the final result.....

Just signed up and confirmed that they show replays (tested the Iran-China game and it worked beautifully). First month subscription is free, so you can cancel after Asian Cup without any payment. THANK YOU!

Of course... this is what I have been preaching... For some reason DAZN just decided to acquire the rights as of the Quarters... not sure why not from the beginning.

I am curious to find out what this does to the so called Pars TV buying the rights to show the games?
