What Fanatiz does
Fanatiz is a Miami-headquartered direct-to-consumer sports over-the-top (OTT) streaming platform that delivers live and on-demand coverage of Latin American and select international sports leagues to subscribers globally. Founded in 2016 and led by CEO and founder Matias Rivera Larrain, the company operates through Fanatiz Inc. (Florida) and Fanatiz SpA (Chile). The service is built as a multi-device application accessible via iOS, Android, web browsers, and connected TV platforms (Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, Hisense TV, Google Chromecast, Airplay), with content delivered in HD quality. Core platform features include team personalization, live sports statistics and results, and multi-language commentary spanning English, Latin American Spanish, Argentine Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, and original-language broadcasts.
The company monetizes through a tiered subscription model anchored by Front Row Monthly at USD $12.99 (Copa Libertadores, Sudamericana, Argentine Liga Profesional, Brasileirão, French Ligue 1, Turkish Super Lig, and other leagues), CDO Plus Monthly at USD $7.99 (Chilean sports), and CDO+ Annual at USD $71.99 (25% annual discount), supplemented by Pay Per View event purchases and ad-supported content. Content is assembled through legally licensed partnerships with CONMEBOL, TyC Sports, beIN SPORTS, RCN Nuestra Tele, Tigo Sports, and the Chilean Olympic Committee (CDO). The platform primarily serves Latin American sports fans — including diaspora audiences seeking home-country league coverage abroad — and international soccer enthusiasts requiring multilingual access to South American and European competitions. Distribution is fully self-serve across web, mobile, and CTV with no enterprise sales motion.
Fanatiz has raised approximately $17 million in disclosed funding across four rounds from 2018 to 2021, with 777 Partners leading a $10 million round in January 2020 and True Capital Management participating in September 2021. No additional funding rounds have been disclosed in the intervening period.

Fanatiz competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Star+ (LATAM, now Disney+): Disney's former LATAM sports-focused streaming service (folded into Disney+) carrying Copa Libertadores, Argentine Liga Profesional, and other major South American leagues. Highly comparable as a paid LATAM sports streaming product, though bundled within a broader entertainment offering.
- FuboTV: Sports-first live TV streaming service in the US and LATAM, carrying beIN SPORTS, TyC Sports Internacional, and other channels relevant to Fanatiz's audience. Comparable as a subscription OTT carrying many of the same Latin American sports networks and leagues.
- Vix (TelevisaUnivision): TelevisaUnivision's Spanish-language streaming platform offering live sports (Liga MX, UEFA Champions League in LATAM) alongside telenovelas and entertainment. Comparable as a LATAM-targeted subscription/AVOD streaming service with significant sports content.
- ESPN+: Disney-owned subscription sports streaming service carrying live soccer (LaLiga, Bundesliga), MLB, NHL, UFC, and college sports. Comparable as a premium subscription sports streamer with broad rights portfolio, though broader in scope than Fanatiz's LATAM focus.
Direct peers
- DAZN: Global sports OTT streaming platform offering live and on-demand coverage of football (including Ligue 1, Turkish Süper Lig, CONMEBOL competitions), boxing, and other sports. Directly comparable as a subscription-based sports streaming service targeting international and multilingual sports audiences.
- beIN SPORTS Connect: Streaming home of the beIN SPORTS network, which is one of Fanatiz's core content partners (Turkish Super Lig, Ligue 1, CONMEBOL tournaments, padel, cycling). Directly comparable as a multi-territory subscription sports streaming service.
- TyC Sports Play: Digital streaming product of TyC Sports Internacional, one of Fanatiz's key Argentine content partners. Comparable as a niche, Spanish-language sports streamer for Argentine soccer fans domestically and abroad.
Regional players
- Premiere (Globo): Globo's pay-TV/streaming service for live Brasileirão matches and other Brazilian sports. Comparable as a country-specific subscription sports streaming product, though primarily serving the Brazilian domestic market rather than diaspora audiences.
- RTVC Play (Señal Colombia): Colombian public broadcaster's streaming platform offering sports content including Liga BetPlay. Comparable as a regional subscription/AVOD sports streaming service in one of Fanatiz's target LATAM markets.
Emerging players
- CONMEBOL TV: Confederation-owned DTC streaming platform for CONMEBOL club competitions (Copa Libertadores, Sudamericana). Comparable as a competing rights-holder-direct platform carrying some of the same content Fanatiz distributes under license.
