Anyone who wants to see the Champions League, among other things, has had to pay significantly more since February 1st.

But there is a perfectly legal loophole.

Munich – There was a hefty price increase for new customers of the streaming provider DAZN at the beginning of February, which in all likelihood will also affect existing customers with a slight time lag.

Instead of €14.99, sports fans will have to pay €29.99 for a monthly subscription.

But there's a pretty easy way to get around this.

The trick: Various discounters can buy DAZN subscriptions via prepaid card.

Aldi*, for example, pointed out that the prepaid cards are still being offered at the old price.

This makes it possible to secure the lower price of €14.99 per month for up to three years.

DAZN more expensive - but there is (still) a loophole

Amazon also states in the conditions: “The voucher value entitles you to use DAZN for the duration according to the number of voucher months”.

The vouchers can be redeemed up to three years later and are not affected by subsequent price changes.

You can also get cheaper prices for DAZN with additional subscriptions to MagentaTV and SkyQ.

If you want to take advantage of the option with the vouchers, you should hurry.

It can be assumed that the streaming provider will have less interest in keeping this loophole open for too long - and will probably stop selling the vouchers in the foreseeable future.

DAZN subscription required for Champions League

Since the current season, there is actually no way around a DAZN subscription for football fans.

Almost all games in the Champions League * can only be seen on the streaming service, and all Friday and Sunday games in the Bundesliga * run on DAZN.

The rights for it were expensive, and the fans are now feeling the effects.

But a look at other countries is surprising: In Germany, live sport is significantly cheaper than in England, Spain or Italy*.
