A positive u-turn from DAZN, with them increasing the number of free UEFA Women's Champions League matches available this season. After the last two seasons had every game shown for free on YouTube, the plan was that to be significantly decreased from this season down to 19 out of 61.
Today they announced that now all group stage games will be shown for free. Initially this will be again on YouTube, though after matchday 4 this will be via the DAZN app/platforms only.
There is a mention of some matches being geoblocked in some territories like France and Germany, so I would guess there has been subletting agreements like was seen on last year's final (on the likes of ZDF in Germany). There is now a DAZN Women's Football FAST channel on Samsung TV Plus (and a combat sports one) that I think was announced as showing some matches live as well.

Have to agree. I had thought the Guinness sponsorship agreement for the men's Six Nations had expired so I was hoping for a long awaited graphics revamp next year, but there is actually a year left on that deal. I think there's also only a year left on the current TV rights cycle, so I fear the decade old graphics will limp on for another year.

Everything else is either ten years old (the main Six Nations graphics which now must be one of the longest lasting graphics in sport, at least among those still in use) or garish (basically everything else).
