Belgian football TV rights: which operator for the Pro League?

To follow the Jupiler Pro League in 2026, Belgian football runs through DAZN, now available via Proximus, Telenet and Orange after the deals signed in May 2026. Budget around €15/month for the Pickx Sports option at Proximus, more for international competitions. The right choice depends on your current operator and the matches you want to watch.

"TV rights" are the paid licence to broadcast the matches. In Belgium, DAZN holds those of the Jupiler Pro League and resells them to operators, who fold them into their sport options. So you don't pay DAZN directly, but through your TV subscription.

Who broadcasts the Pro League in 2026?

DAZN broadcasts the Pro League, and its matches are again available at traditional operators. After a tense spring, the May 2026 deals brought the league back to Proximus, Telenet and Orange.

The detail matters. DAZN had first gone through a widely reported contract breakdown with the Pro League, leaving subscribers fearing they would lose access to the matches. Then Telenet signed in early May 2026, followed by Proximus a few days later, according to the operators' communications and coverage by Test-Achats and the RTBF. The result: Belgian football stays visible on the boxes most homes already own.

How does DAZN broadcast Belgian football?

Via four linear channels, complemented by its app. That is the structure set up for the coming season.

DAZN offers two channels for Belgian football — one in French, one in Dutch — and two for international competitions. What isn't on these linear channels is in the DAZN app, integrated into your operator's sport option during the season. In practice, a Proximus subscriber accesses Belgian football via Pickx Sports, with no separate service to install.

How much does Belgian football cost on TV?

Budget around €15/month for Belgian football alone, and nearly €39 to add international, at Proximus. These amounts are added to your TV subscription.

Option (Proximus)Price/monthWhat you get
Pickx Sports€14.99Belgian football (Pro League) + DAZN app
All-in€38.99Pro League + international competitions

These rates are the promotional prices in force after the May 2026 deals; Proximus's statement announces a new pricing structure for later in the season. At Telenet and Orange (Play Sports), access to Belgian football goes through their own sport options, to be compared line by line.

Which operator for which competitions?

It depends on what you want to watch. Belgian football is available at all three big operators; international costs extra.

If you only want the Pro League, your current operator's Belgian football option is enough, around €15/month at Proximus. If you also want foreign leagues, you need the higher option (All-in at €38.99 at Proximus) or the full DAZN app. The season restarts on 7 August, which leaves time to compare before kick-off.

Which TV operator for football, for which profile?

The best choice depends on your starting point, not on a universal ranking.

✓ Go for

  • Already with Proximus/Telenet/Orange: add the sport option, don't switch operator
  • Belgian football only: an option at ~€15/month is enough
  • International fan: All-in option (~€39 at Proximus) or DAZN app
  • Small budget: compare sport option + pack, not the headline rate

✗ The traps

  • Don't subscribe to a new operator just for football without comparing total cost
  • Don't confuse Belgian and international football in the promos
  • Don't forget the pricing grids will change again

Frequently asked questions

DAZN holds the rights to the Belgian league. After several months of tension, deals signed in May 2026 with Telenet then Proximus bring the matches back to traditional TV. The Pro League is available via Proximus, Telenet and Orange (Play Sports), plus the DAZN app.

At Proximus, the Pickx Sports option is €14.99/month on promo, and the All-in option (with international competitions) is €38.99/month. These prices are added to your TV subscription. A new pricing structure is announced for later in the season.

Not necessarily. The matches are available through your operator's sport options (Pickx Sports at Proximus, Play Sports at Orange, Telenet's sport offer). What isn't on the linear channels is in the DAZN app, integrated into your operator's option during the season.

The Belgian league restarts on 7 August. The May 2026 deals cover the end of the current season and the coming one, which avoids the blackout subscribers feared after the spring tensions.

DAZN broadcasts via four linear channels: two for Belgian football (one in French, one in Dutch) and two for international competitions. The rest goes through the DAZN app, accessible from your operator's sport option.

If you are already with Proximus, Telenet or Orange, add the matching sport option rather than switching operator. If you are starting from scratch, compare the price of the sport option plus a TV pack, not just the pack's headline rate.

Not in the basic option. At Proximus, international competitions fall under the All-in option at €38.99/month, against €14.99 for Belgian football only via Pickx Sports. Check the exact competitions covered before subscribing, as they change from season to season.
