Title: Catch Germany's Ice Hockey World Championship 2025 Matches - Here's the Lowdown
From May 9-25, the Men's Ice Hockey World Championship will descend upon Sweden (Stockholm) and Denmark (Herning), with Germany and reigning champ Czech Republic among the 16 contenders. Curious about watching every game featuring Deutschland's national team? Here's a brief guide.
Your go-to spot for all Germany matches is the oh-so-familiar ProSieben, or alternatively, the streaming platform Joyn or ran.de. These options will also broadcast the two quarterfinals, both semifinals, and the final. During the tourney, Joyn, ran.de, and ProSieben Maxx will also dish out select additional matches.
(For those who prefer to skim, a quick rundown of Germany's schedule is provided later in this piece.)
Opening matches: Online for a price
Germany takes the ice for the initial round on May 10, meeting Hungary (puck drop at 16:20 CET, pre-game coverage starts at 16:00 CET). It's worth noting that Germany has won all seven of its prior faceoffs with Hungary.
However, those hankering to watch the tournament's opening games on May 9 must bear a streaming fee, as the broadcasting rights rest with Sportdeutschland.TV.
