The 60th Bundesliga season starts this Friday. All 306 games are broadcast live on television – on three channels. BILD gives you an overview.
► Who shows the games?
On Sky, all Saturday games run at 3.30 p.m. (individually and in the conference) and the top game at 6.30 p.m. In addition, there are all league matches in English weeks.
DAZN shows everything on Friday (8.30 p.m.) and Sunday (3.30 p.m., 5.30 p.m. and ten times at 7.30 p.m.).
Sat.1 is broadcasting three Bundesliga games on free TV: Frankfurt versus Bayern on matchday 1 and one game each on matchday 15 and 16.
► Which subscriptions do you need for everything?
In order to be able to see all 612 Bundesliga and second division games, two subscriptions are required: The Bundesliga package from Sky (currently available for EUR 20 per month) and DAZN (from EUR 24.99 per month in an annual subscription, otherwise 29, 99 euros per month). This means that the price has doubled compared to the previous year (from 12.50 euros) at DAZN.
Anyone who already has a Sky Bundesliga package can book a DAZN annual subscription for 19.99 per month. There is also a combination subscription for 38.99 euros.
The monthly streaming offer Sky-Ticket is now called WOW. The name is intended to emphasize the emotionality of watching.
► Who is showing the highlights?
Shortly after the final whistle, the highlights are available most quickly with BILDplus. On Saturdays from 6.30 p.m. the sports show runs in the first, on Sundays from 9.45 p.m. in the third. ZDF shows the Saturday evening game from 11 p.m. in the sports studio.

► Which new experts are at the start?
DAZN signed Michael Ballack (45) and Sami Khedira (35). Ballack will be in action for the first time against Cologne against Schalke (5:30 p.m.) on Sunday, and Khedira in the Uefa Super Cup on August 10. RTL also shows this game between Frankfurt and Real Madrid.
The DAZN team of experts also includes Sandro Wagner (34), Sebastian Kneißl (39) and Jonas Hummels (31). Ralph Gunesch (38) is staying with Eintracht Frankfurt despite his new job (link between professional and junior teams), but he will not take on any games from upcoming SGE opponents.
At Sky, ex-national players Julia Simic (33) and Tabea Kemme (30) alternately reinforce the top game round with Lothar Matthäus (61) and Sebastian Hellmann (54) on Saturdays at 6:30 p.m. Furthermore, Didi Hamann (48) and Erik Meijer (53) analyze – especially on Saturday afternoon.
Sat.1 continues to rely on the Turkish national coach Stefan Kuntz (59).
