Good news for BVB fans: Bundesliga match to be shown live on free-to-air TV | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund will soon be live on free TV. Thanks to the cooperation between RTL and Sky, the home match against Mainz will be broadcast on television for all fans free of charge.

For football fans, the new year kicks off with attractive TV dates: Thanks to a partnership between RTL and Sky Sport, several top-tier matches from the Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga will be shown on free-to-air television in the coming weeks. Borussia Dortmund will also be in the spotlight.

Especially pleasing for BVB supporters: The home match against 1. FSV Mainz 05 will be broadcast live on RTL on February 13. The program starts at prime time in the evening, with kick-off following shortly after under the floodlights at Signal Iduna Park. In sporting terms, Dortmund goes into the match as favorites—Mainz is currently at the bottom of the table, while BVB is among the league’s top teams. Dortmund already won the reverse fixture 2-0. The match will also be shown simultaneously on Sky Sport Bundesliga, including the usual Sky commentary.

Before that, there’s another TV highlight. On January 14, RTL will broadcast the traditional clash between 1. FC Köln and FC Bayern Munich live from RheinEnergieStadion. The Munich team wants to underline their favorite status at the end of the first half of the season. Cologne, on the other hand, is hoping for a surprise—not least thanks to their jewel Said El Mala, who has recently made headlines. The youngster is already being considered a possible transfer target for Borussia Dortmund.

BVB Match Against Mainz Live on RTL

But it’s not just the Bundesliga that benefits from the collaboration between the two broadcasters. The 2. Bundesliga also moves into the focus of free TV programming: On January 17, RTL will broadcast the top match between Hertha BSC and Borussia Dortmund’s rivals FC Schalke 04. Just one day later, a Sunday conference with three matches will follow.

All the matches mentioned are part of a sub-licensing deal between RTL and Sky. This model has already been used in the past and, according to the broadcasters, is not related to any possible structural changes between the two media companies.

In summary, fans can look forward to several matches featuring top clubs being broadcast free of charge on free TV in the coming weeks. For BVB supporters, February 13 is a must-see—Bundesliga football from Dortmund without a pay-TV subscription.
