Bundesliga rights are split across multiple broadcasters depending on where you live — and none of those broadcasters carry every competition the clubs play in. Watching Bayern Munich one week on ESPN+ and chasing Borussia Dortmund through a Viaplay login the next week gets old fast.
This guide maps every major broadcasting option for Bundesliga fans outside Germany in 2026, what each one costs, and where the gaps are.
ESPN+ in the United States
ESPN+ holds Bundesliga rights in the US for the 2025-26 season. At $10.99/month standalone or $24.99/month as part of the Disney Bundle (with Hulu and Disney+), it is a reasonable deal if you already subscribe to that ecosystem.
ESPN+ streams most Bundesliga matches live, with replays available shortly after. Commentary is in English. The downside: the app is not always reliable during peak matchday traffic, and some matches air at inconvenient US times (6:30 AM Eastern for Saturday morning kickoffs).
ESPN+ does not carry DFB-Pokal (German Cup) in full. For Champions League nights when Bayern or Dortmund are involved, you will need a separate Paramount+ subscription, which runs $7.99/month.
Sky Deutschland: For Viewers Inside Germany
Inside Germany, Sky holds the majority of Bundesliga live rights alongside DAZN. Sky’s Bundesliga package starts at €27/month (annual contract). DAZN Germany at €34.99/month covers a separate block of Bundesliga fixtures and all UEFA Champions League matches.
To watch all Bundesliga games inside Germany legally, you need both Sky and DAZN — which puts the total at over €60/month. That is before adding any other sports. ARD and ZDF carry the free-to-air DFB-Pokal highlights and some matches, but not live Bundesliga.
Viaplay: For UK and Northern Europe
Viaplay holds Bundesliga rights in the UK, Netherlands, Poland, and several Nordic countries. UK pricing sits at £14.99/month. The service streams all 34 matchdays with English commentary in the UK and local-language commentary across other markets.
Viaplay’s app has improved significantly since its rocky UK launch. It now works reliably on Smart TVs, Fire TV, and Apple TV. The catalog beyond Bundesliga includes Formula 1, NHL, and some boxing — value depends on whether those sports interest you.
Fubo TV: Multi-Sport Option in the US and Canada
Fubo TV in the US carries Bundesliga through its sports channels lineup. At $84.99/month, you get a broad sports package that includes NFL, NBA, soccer leagues, and more. If Bundesliga is your primary sport, Fubo is more than you need. If you watch a wide range of live sports, the value math improves.
Streaming Costs by Region: Quick Reference
| Region | Service | Monthly Cost | All BL Matches? |
|---|---|---|---|
| US | ESPN+ | $10.99 | Most |
| Germany | Sky + DAZN | ~€62+ | Yes (combined) |
| UK | Viaplay | £14.99 | Yes |
| Netherlands | Viaplay | €13.99 | Yes |
| Any | MazzTV | From £12.99 | Yes |
Optus Sport: For Australian Fans
In Australia, Optus Sport holds Bundesliga rights alongside Premier League and Ligue 1. Pricing sits at AUD $24.99/month or AUD $199/year. The service streams full matchdays with English commentary and a solid mobile app. Geographic restrictions mean you need an Australian billing address or SIM to subscribe — which limits access for expats who have moved on.
Kayo Sports in Australia carries Bundesliga as well through its broad sports rights deal. At AUD $25/month for the Basic plan, Kayo adds AFL, cricket, and most other Australian sports on top of Bundesliga — making it the stronger multi-sport value for Australian viewers.
The Multi-League Problem
Bundesliga fans do not only watch Bundesliga. They watch Champions League nights, DFB-Pokal, and international matches involving German players. Each of those competitions sits behind a different paywall — Paramount+ for Champions League in the US, DAZN for CL in Germany, TNT Sports in the UK.
If you are subscribing to ESPN+ for Bundesliga, Paramount+ for Champions League, and a separate service for DFB-Pokal, the total monthly cost easily exceeds £30-40. That is before any general entertainment streaming.
How MazzTV Handles This
MazzTV’s live channels streaming package carries Bundesliga channels alongside Ligue 1, Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, Champions League, and more — all under one monthly plan starting at £12.99. You do not switch apps between competition nights. You do not add subscriptions when the DFB-Pokal rounds start.
The setup guide covers every device — from Firestick to Smart TV to Android — so you are watching within minutes of signing up. Browse the full channels list to see Bundesliga and Champions League coverage confirmed for your region, then check pricing plans to pick your term.
