DFB-Pokal Frauen: BVB v FC Bayern free to watch on livestream | OneFootball

On Monday, the kickoff for the highlight match in the first round of the DFB-Pokal for women takes place at 6:30 PM. Borussia Dortmund, as a third-division team, hosts the Bundesliga team FC Bayern Munich and has increased the allowed number of spectators in the Rote Erde stadium for this event. The first encounter of these two giants of men's football in the women's game will be available for free via livestream.

It was unlikely that 80,000 spectators would have been expected—or a similar number that would have made a move to Signal Iduna Park seem sensible. However, instead of the usual 9,999 spectators at league home games, over 15,000 fans can be present live when the eagerly anticipated, though quite unequal, duel takes place in Dortmund tomorrow.

For all those who cannot or do not want to be on-site, there is a free livestream of the match, which could even go into extra time or a penalty shootout if necessary. Whether the BVB women can hold their own for that long can be followed on the WDR livestream, which will start at 6:25 PM. This public broadcaster's stream can be used both without registration and for free.

WDR streams live from the "Rote Erde"

By Friday, BVB had already sold 12,000 tickets. It is not unlikely that the expanded capacity of the Rote Erde stadium will be sold out tomorrow for the Borussia Dortmund vs. FC Bayern Munich match. A five-digit, more than worthy backdrop is already assured for this encounter.

Additionally, the first-round match of the DFB-Pokal will also be broadcast on Sky, although a subscription or a day ticket is required there. The pay-TV channel shows one match per round live until the round of 16. From the quarter-finals onwards, all games will be broadcast live on Sky. It is rather unlikely that the BVB players will still be involved then, as they are playing against the current double winners in German women's football, FC Bayern Munich, tomorrow. However, there is still a small hope for a surprise for BVB, as is always the case in any cup match in football.
