Kickoff is 7:30 p.m. Pacific on September 18. In Tokyo, that is 11:30 the next morning, and fans there can watch Oregon play Portland State for nothing.
The game will stream free on DAZN in Japan and in other markets outside the United States. It is part of a new content arrangement among Oregon, Big Ten Network and DAZN, announced earlier this week.
Oregon is also sending DAZN its weekly in-season series, Ducks v. Them, and other social content. Big Ten Network will supply an episode of The B1G Trip, its documentary series on the Tokyo delegation. In Japan, coach Dan Lanning ran a clinic on route concepts and offensive strategy, while his players led live 7-on-7 exhibitions for local youth at the American School in Japan. DAZN will release the episode internationally.
“The Tokyo Oregon Football Showcase created real connections, and this is a special way to build on the momentum created by our visit,” athletic director Rob Mullens said in a statement. He said the partnership brings Oregon football to fans in Japan and every other market DAZN serves, and that the school expects to add more content and other elements.
DAZN Group CEO Shay Segev called it a good example of connecting fan communities across borders. “We’re excited to bring the Ducks’ season to audiences in Japan and around the world, giving more fans free access to live Big Ten action,” he said.
DAZN’s college football reach
The streamer already had the groundwork. Last October it signed a multiyear deal with the Big Ten to distribute its games internationally, beginning with that football season, when the Big Ten Championship and every conference football game went to DAZN. The agreement also covered men’s and women’s basketball games and Big Ten Network studio and shoulder programming, plus football from the Big 12 and Mountain West and basketball from the Big 12 and Big East.
With existing SEC and ACC rights, that makes DAZN the international home of every major college football conference, with exceptions. Big Ten games on CBS will not be available in Bermuda, NBC and Peacock games will not air in the Caribbean, and Fox Sports games will not be offered in Latin America.
American sport has become a DAZN specialty abroad. It holds international rights to the NFL’s Game Pass, took on NHL international distribution in July 2025, and streamed the FIFA Club World Cup free worldwide last summer after paying $1 billion for the rights.
