Piracy: illegal website Photocall (26 million visits in 2025) shut down by ACE in collaboration with DAZN

The Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment (ACE), in collaboration with the streaming platform DAZN, has shut down the illegal website Photocall, based in Spain, announced the global anti-piracy coalition on 20/11/2025.

"Following an investigation conducted by ACE and DAZN, the operator of Photocall was identified and traced to Spain. ACE approached the operator and reached a settlement, resulting in the immediate closure of the service, among other terms. Logging more than 26 million visits in the past year, Photocall provided unauthorized access to 1,127 TV channels from 60 countries, including channels broadcasting live sports content," said the Alliance, which added that almost 30% of the site's traffic came from Spain.

"This illegal service did not offer DAZN channels, but it did redistribute the content of some of our partners - especially MotoGP and Formula 1, as well as Serie A Enilive, the NFL, the NHL, and the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA), and club channels like Real Madrid TV, Barça TV, and Betis TV," said Oscar Vilda, CEO of DAZN Iberia (Spain and Portugal).
