• The first oral hearing is scheduled for 4 September 2026 at the Oberlandesgericht Hamm (case I-12 VKl 1/24).
• Consumers and small businesses can still sign up via the federal Verbandsklageregister at least until 25 September 2026.
• The lawsuit alleges DAZN raised prices in ongoing contracts without consent, including a jump from €14.99 to €29.99 in summer 2022, using intransparent clauses.
