Introduction

On July 14, 2024, DAZN, a sports streaming service, acquired the rights to Ligue 1 for 400 million euros.

It offers supporters 2 subscription plans, including one at €30 per month with a 12-month commitment (to watch all Ligue 1 matches except 1 match broadcast by Bein).

Thus, the French supporter must spend €45 per month just to watch Ligue 1. There is no need to continue to prove that this system will not work. Especially since DAZN requires 1.5 million subscribers to be profitable.

Using IPTV is therefore an alternative for these supporters, who are burdened with increasingly high costs each year to watch their favorite team.

This article aims to explore how IPTV works, as well as its server and connection/authentication methods.
