Kick off a new era in German sports broadcasting! The 2025/26 Bundesliga season promises excitement on and off the pitch, with a fresh take on streaming your favorite games. As Sky bids farewell to the Saturday conference, solely DAZN will dominate the broadcasting landscape for this traditional TV slot.
Here's a lowdown on the streaming platforms, pricing, and changes in store for the new season.
Bid Farewell to Sky, Welcome DAZN
For years, the Bundesliga satellite conference anchored the sky, but with DAZN stepping up, things are about to get shaken up. Starting the 2025/26 season, DAZN is set to bring you all Friday and Sunday games alongside the Saturday afternoon conference. In total, you can expect uninterrupted access to 240 games a season, with 161 via the conference.
There's no denying that jumping ship will entail a price hike for fans. The DAZN Unlimited subscription comes in at €34.99 a month with a yearly commitment and €44.99 a month for monthly cancellations (€420-€540 annually).
