Watching the upcoming Canelo Alvarez fight doesn’t have to be complicated, and I’ll break down all your viewing options to catch this exciting boxing match.
Main Streaming Options
DAZN remains the primary destination for streaming Canelo’s fights. As boxing’s biggest star continues his dominance, the streaming service has maintained exclusive rights to most of his matches. You’ll need a DAZN subscription, which typically runs around $19.99 monthly or $224.99 annually. For major fights, there’s usually an additional pay-per-view fee ranging from $59.99 to $84.99.
Traditional Pay-Per-View
If streaming isn’t your preference, many cable and satellite providers offer the fight through traditional PPV channels. Providers like Xfinity, DirecTV, and Spectrum typically carry major boxing events, though prices tend to be slightly higher than streaming options, usually around $84.99.
Sports Bars and Public Venues
Looking for a more social experience? Many sports bars and restaurants purchase commercial licenses to show the fight. Using apps like Bar Finder or simply calling your local sports bars can help you locate venues showing the event. Keep in mind that popular spots often charge a cover fee ($20-30) and fill up quickly, so arriving early is recommended.
International Viewing Options
If you’re outside the US, don’t worry – DAZN offers service in over 200 countries. However, availability and pricing can vary by region. Some countries might have different broadcast partners, so it’s worth checking your local sports networks.
Tips for the Best Viewing Experience
Whether you choose streaming or traditional PPV, test your setup before fight night. For streaming, ensure your internet connection is stable (minimum 20 Mbps recommended) and your device is compatible with DAZN. Many viewers have learned the hard way that technical issues are the last thing you want when the main event starts.
Remember, major fights like Canelo’s typically begin around 11 PM ET, with the main card starting earlier in the evening. Plan your viewing party accordingly, and don’t forget that these events can sometimes run longer than expected.
Avoiding Unofficial Streams
While you might be tempted by unofficial streaming options, these often provide poor quality and unreliable connections. Plus, they don’t support the athletes and sport you love. Investing in official viewing options ensures you won’t miss any of the action and supports future high-quality boxing events.
Keep an eye on DAZN’s social media and website as we get closer to fight night, as they sometimes offer special promotional deals for new subscribers. Whether you’re a long-time boxing fan or just getting into the sport, watching a Canelo fight is always an event worth experiencing properly.
