DAZN & AirPlay – How To Get Them Working Together

Stuck trying to figure out how to get DAZN and AirPlay together?

Don’t worry, this is a common problem! I know how frustrating it can be when you’re trying to watch an exciting box match on DAZN via AirPlay, but can’t seem to get them to work together.

Luckily, you’ve come to the right place for answers.

To get DAZN and AirPlay working together, you’ll need to connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi network, select the sports event you want to watch, tap on the AirPlay icon, and choose the device you want to stream to.

Keep reading to learn more about how to get DAZN and AirPlay working together and what to do in case there’s an issue!

#1 Connect Your Devices to the Same Network

Before doing anything else, you’ll need to connect your iOS device to the same network as your Apple TV or compatible Smart TV.

Otherwise, your devices won’t be able to communicate with each other, and DAZN won’t work with AirPlay.

Here’s how to change your Wi-Fi network on iOS devices:

1. Go to Settings.
2. Select “Wi-Fi” from the menu.
3. Choose the Wi-Fi network that your TV is using.

Most modems offer two different networks, 2.4 and 5.0 GHz, so you can connect to the one that best meets your needs.

A 2.4 GHz frequency can reach further distances at lower speeds, while a 5.0 GHz connection offers faster speeds at a shorter range.

So, if your devices are close to your modem, I suggest connecting them to the 5.0 GHz network. But, if they’re far away from the modem or router, connecting them to the 2.4 GHz network is recommended.

#2 Select a Sports Event

Once both devices are connected to the same network, you’ll need to open the DAZN app on your iOS device and sign in to your account.

Then, choose the category of sports you’re interested in (boxing, basketball, American football, etc.) from the catalog.

Scroll through the list of sports events and tap on the one you’d like to watch. Now, it’s time to stream it via AirPlay. Keep reading to learn how to do it!

#3 Tap on the AirPlay Icon

To stream the sports event you’ve previously selected, you’ll need to tap on the AirPlay icon.

Recognizing this icon is very simple due to its distinct shape. It’s a rectangle with rounded corners and a triangle (similar to the Wi-Fi icon) at the bottom.

If by any chance you can’t find the AirPlay icon, try tapping on the “Share” icon (square with an arrow) and selecting “AirPlay”.

#4 Select a Device to Play On

Almost there! When you tapped on the “AirPlay” icon, a list of devices should have appeared on the screen.

The last step to get your DAZN and AirPlay working together is to select the TV where you want to stream the sports event.

Once you’ve done that, the sports event should start playing on this device.

If you can’t find your TV on the list, please make sure both devices are connected to the same network.

If you’re using a Smart TV, you’ll need to verify that it’s compatible with AirPlay by going to Apple’s website and checking the list of compatible devices.

What to Do if DAZN Isn’t Working With AirPlay?

If you followed the steps above, but DAZN isn’t working with AirPlay, don’t worry—you’re not alone.

This can happen due to different reasons, but whatever the case may be, I’m here to help. I’ve prepared a list of troubleshooting tips that will make this issue a thing of the past.

If you’re having trouble getting AirPlay and DAZN working together, you’ll need to:

• Check compatibility: As mentioned before, if you’re using a Smart TV, you’ll need to make sure it’s compatible with AirPlay. If it’s not, don’t worry – you can download the app on your TV, or use an HDMI cable.
• Make sure both devices are connected to the same network: Remember, in order for DAZN to work with AirPlay, both your devices need to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. So, go to your TV and iPhone (or iPad) Settings and double-check they’re connected to the right Wi-Fi to enjoy the game without any interruptions.
• Check your connection: If you have network issues, you won’t be able to stream DAZN via AirPlay. Run an Internet speed test and if your connection is slower than normal, please restart your modem and router by unplugging them from the power source, waiting for a couple of minutes, and plugging them back in.
• Install any available updates: Make sure the DAZN app and both devices are fully updated. This way, you’ll ensure compatibility and fix any bugs that were causing the issue.
• Restart your devices: All devices need to run thousands of processes in the back to perform different functions at the same time. Unfortunately, sometimes bugs or glitches can make these crash and cause AirPlay issues. The easiest way to shut down any crashed background processes is by restarting your iOS device and TV.
• Check DAZN servers: The platform’s servers are responsible for making sure that millions of people can watch their favorite sports events at the same time. Unfortunately, if they go down, the DAZN app may not work as intended, and you may experience different issues while trying to stream its content via AirPlay. Enter downdetector.com/status/dazn/ and check the status of the servers. If they are down, you’ll need to wait for a couple of hours until the issue gets solved.

Once you’ve tried the fixes above, go to DAZN and try streaming content via AirPlay again. You should be able to do it without further trouble.

Conclusion

I hope that this article has helped you gain some more confidence in getting DAZN and AirPlay working together.

If you take anything away, please remember to make sure both devices are connected to the same network, open the app and select a sports event, and tap on the AirPlay icon. Then, choose a device from the list to start streaming content via AirPlay.

Don’t forget that if you encounter any issues, you’ll need to make sure your TV is compatible with Airplay, refresh your network connection, restart and update your devices, or check DAZN’s servers.
