In November 2020, both MyCujoo's direct to consumer live football streaming platform and business to business streaming MyCujoo Live Services were acquired by Eleven Sports,[47][48] and in June 2021 the direct to consumer platform transformed into a global live and on-demand sports and entertainment platform. In July 2023, ELEVEN's global OTT was discontinued, ending MyCujoo's position as a direct to consumer streaming platform.

In September 2022, Eleven Sports,[47][48] was acquired by direct to consumer live football streaming platform DAZN.
