Dhe streaming service Dazn will also show Bundesliga soccer matches in the coming season. The paid Internet provider broadcasts with a sub-license from the American group Discovery and announced the agreement on Sunday when the Champions League final was broadcast. The package includes a total of 45 games, including the Supercup and the relegation games. The core consists of 30 Bundesliga games on Friday and five each on Sunday and Monday.
Most recently, the transmissions were unsafe, as Discovery and its daughter Eurosport, as contract partners of the German Football League, had terminated several months ago. The week before last, the arbitration tribunal of the German Institution for Arbitration (DIS) declared this termination to be ineffective. Since then, the rights have been held by Discovery / Eurosport again.
The media company had secured the Bundesliga package in 2016, but decided against further use of the rights after two seasons with moderate audience success. The streaming service Dazn acquired a sub-license last summer and broadcast until the Corona break.
After the Discovery / Eurosport cancellation and the resumption of gaming operations in May, the DFL had temporarily agreed with Dazn and the American retail giant Amazon to broadcast several games. For the new season, a renewed agreement between Discovery and DAZN had become necessary after the arbitration court judgment.
