Handball-EM live
Semi-final final: Who will broadcast Germany against France?
For the German handball players, the last main round game at the European Championships is about making it to the semi-finals. The DHB game can be followed live and free of charge.
The main round opponents of the DHB team at the European Handball Championship in Northern Europe are tough: Portugal (final score 32:30), Norway (final score 30:28), Denmark (final score 26:31) and France.
After the defeat against the top favorites Denmark, Germany has a final against France on Wednesday for the semi-finals. A draw would be enough for Alfred Gislason’s team, as the French recently surprisingly lost to the Spaniards 32:36.
Handball European Championship: Germany games on free TV
As in the group phase, the DHB team will play all of its main round games in Herning, Denmark. The public broadcasters continue to show all German games on TV and in the live stream.
The last and all-important main round game against France on Wednesday at 6 p.m. will be broadcast live on ZDF and in the ZDF media library. The TV broadcast starts at 5:40 p.m.
In the media libraries, ARD and ZDF also show at least one other main series game every day. In order to be able to watch all matches at the European Handball Championships in Denmark, Norway and Sweden, viewers must take out a subscription to the pay channel Dyn. You can buy an EM pass there for 15 euros.
These are the TV experts
The ARD is relying on the expertise of two handball world champions from 2007: Dominik Klein and Johannes Bitter are in action for the first. ZDF is once again using ex-national player Sven-Sören Christophersen as an expert.
Well-known handball players also rate the performances of the DHB team and the events surrounding the tournament at Dyn: icon Stefan Kretzschmar, the former national players Pascal Hens, Michael Kraus (both also world champions from 2007), Tobias Reichmann and Silvio Heinevetter as well as France’s world and European champion Kentin Mahé.
New to the team of experts are the still active Bundesliga professionals Fabian Wiede, Timo Kastening and Leif Tissier, the newly crowned vice world champion Antje Döll and Florian Kehrmann, coach of the Bundesliga third-place team TBV Lemgo.
