Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal: Three BVB matches to be shown live on free TV | OneFootball

For all Borussia Dortmund fans who can't be at the stadium, there is now good news in a triple pack. In the coming weeks, three BVB matches will be shown on free TV. Twice in the Bundesliga and once in the DFB-Pokal. Here is all the information, including the opponents in these games.

The fact that BVB's round of 16 match in the DFB-Pokal will be shown on free TV has already been reported here. After advancing in the penalty shootout against Eintracht Frankfurt, Borussia Dortmund reached the round of the last sixteen clubs and was drawn for a home game against Bayer Leverkusen. This duel between two top clubs will take place on December 2, 2025, at Signal Iduna Park and will be broadcast live by ARD. Even before the kickoff at 9 PM, you will be able to see images from Dortmund and, of course, follow the entire match, including any potential penalty shootout, comfortably from home.

In the Bundesliga, the winter break begins after the 15th matchday. For this last matchday, Sat1 has secured the rights to the Friday game, as Ruhr 24 reports. This brings Borussia Mönchengladbach as the opponent to the Dortmund stadium, where they have regularly lost in recent years, often returning home with a real thrashing. The latest results between BVB and BMG in Dortmund are 3:2, 4:2, 5:2, 6:0, and 3:0. Many goals in this free TV broadcast on December 19 are not certain – but certainly not unlikely.

Eintracht Frankfurt – BVB again live on free TV

Also, at the start of the Bundesliga after the winter break, Sat1 will show the Friday evening match. And on January 9, 2026, BVB will be one of the two participating clubs. However, this time they will be guests at Eintracht Frankfurt, where the Hessians might seek revenge for their recent DFB-Pokal elimination. Whether they succeed can be watched for free on free TV when fans' hunger for football is likely to be quite large again after the long weeks of the winter break.

The fact that all three BVB games on free TV will also take place under floodlights and presumably in front of a sold-out crowd guarantees atmospheric football evenings – entirely without cost for TV viewers.
