Good news for all HSV fans who don’t have a pay-TV subscription: the upcoming Bundesliga home match against 1. FC Köln will be broadcast live on free TV.
This means all supporters can watch the clash (Saturday, 3:30 p.m.) without having to pay for Sky or DAZN. Normally, both subscriptions are needed to follow the full Saturday football schedule. While the conference coverage airs on DAZN, Sky shows the individual matches live. HSV’s clash with Köln is now an exception: as part of the expanded cooperation between Sky and RTL, the match will be shown free-to-air on RTL.
The broadcast begins at 3 p.m., half an hour before kick-off. The program will be hosted by presenter Jana Wosnitza, with former HSV striker Simon Terodde as pundit. Commentary will be provided by Cornelius Küpper, while Thomas Wagner will handle the interviews.

However, the players and those in charge are unlikely to care much about that. After a completely disastrous start to the season with three defeats, zero points and a goal difference of 0:12, the Rothosen are already under massive pressure against Köln. The clash is also the final match before the three-week international break.
That makes a positive result all the more important before the Bundesliga pauses for the time being. The ball will not roll again in Germany’s top flight until October 9. HSV will then return to action a day later with an away match at TSG Hoffenheim.
So for the fans, there are two reasons to tune in against Köln: the match is free-to-air – and from HSV’s point of view, absolutely crucial for the rest of the season.
