    Are you sure? I thought we established (or learned) they only have rights to Japan

    Got confirmation from DAZN: in Germany (and probably in Austria and Switzerland too) there will be "very, very few" selected games from J1.

    Is not satisfying. I want to see J3 games as well, especially Ryukyu games. Hope they will solve this problem.

    No Radu it's not a problem for them, unfortunately. It's just the way it has been set up. And just to be clear, it's the JLeague to blame, not DAZN.
    It's not going to change, sorry... your best bet is to wait and see what happens with Eversport and other providers right now. In the meanwhile... time to be a pirate.

    So is the only way to legally stream J-League matches in the United States through Eversport? I have been busy the past couple years so I haven't had much time to watch the J-League and I hope to follow it more this season. Not sure I wanna pay $20 a month though.

    Does Kazan Channel still exist? I remember watching alot of matches there a couple of years ago.

    Just a note out of curiosity... Sport Klub streams J1 again this year - just a few matches per week I guess. For example they broadcasted Omiya-Frontale this week. Still kind of weird.

    Sorry that DAZN doesn't work here in Italy. I hope they'll come that through for 2018 season.

    Plus, a little question: the J. League disactivated the highlight channel? Before there were two channels, one for promotional video and shorter highlights and one for ALL highlights of three professional leagues. Now this 2nd channel doesn't exist anymore (dumb move) and shorter highlight are the only ones available.

    I think that was Skapa channel with all three professional leagues. Hope DAZN can create something similar, but I don't think.

    Not overly with impressed with DAZN this weekend.

    Quality of the picture was worse than what it has been for A-League and Bundesliga imho. And they weren't able to show the Gamba-match at all, so a lot of angry fans right now.

    Also, the new graphics of the team names, score etc looks really poor. Prefer the Skapa-graphic any day over this. Also they removed the number of shots stats, or basically any stats really. Considering Perform is the same company as OPTA, that's a bit surprising, but I guess OPTA doesnt cover J.League... (which again is strange in itself, now that they have the broadcasting rights..)

    yeah was just looking around, lots of angry people indeed. They better keep that price for a long, long time with this kind of service... I'm still subbing but, heh.
    Opta does cover Jleague! It's OptaJiro.

    The official channel has goal highlights and brief recaps (2') of every game. It's not much, but it's better than nothing!

    Gave up waiting for Chromecast and decided to buy Amazon Fire Stick, so I'm finally able to watch it on the big screen.

    Watching A-League now, and the quality is so-so. 480p at best I guess. Looks a lot better on the phone. A bit step down from Skapa of course, but considering the price and the amout of sports we can watch I guess it's still a very good deal.

    And Amazon Fire Stick works on its own as well, so don't have to connect via a phone which is very good.

    Time to revive this thread.
    How is everyone watching Jleague? DAZN is now blocking seemingly every VPN which is annoying... and I have a very hard time finding streams on the usual websites.
    Lately I'm forced on bet365 which, well, makes my eyes bleed due to the screen size.
    Any tips?

    @naopon if you ever find the time, I guess we'd need to update the OP...

    http://www.wiz1.net/schedule - usual place for streams (not only J League), with adblock you have to wait 4 seconds and enjoy the game. They usually update the site, but sometimes there are some problems with that. On that occasion I usually go to
    http://live2all.me/soccer/ - shitty, barely watchable due to ads and scripts, but they have everything you need.

    That's how I roll this year so far...

    Thanks for all the new links
    For what's worth, I can help with a simple suggestion that in my experience has been the best for fighting ads even when an adblocker is not enough.
    There's a firefox extension called "strict pop-up blocker" it's super easy. When you click on it and it has a tiny red circle it will block any new window that tries to open, it has really worked for me. I could click a thousand times on the annoying "x" to close and ADS and they won't go anywhere.
    Just click on it again and it will be disabled.
