Sky takes the Bundesliga from BT

5 August 2021
Bundesliga

Live action from Germany’s Bundesliga will be shown in the UK and Ireland on Sky Sports for the next four seasons.

The Bundesliga returns to Sky Sports on Friday 13th August, with coverage of Borussia Mönchengladbach v champions Bayern München at 7:30pm. Then, on Saturday 14th, there’s live coverage as Borussia Dortmund take on Eintracht Frankfurt, kick off at 5:30pm.

In addition to the Bundesliga, Sky Sports will also broadcast the German Supercup live, with Borussia Dortmund and FC Bayern München going head-to-head on 17th August at Signal Iduna Park, kick off is at 7:30pm.


Which channel will show the Bundesliga in the UK from 2021-22 season?

The main match each Saturday will be shown on Sky Sports Football at 5:30pm. Other matches will be shown across Sky Sports’ linear and online channels. Coverage of the Bundesliga will also feature on Sky Sports YouTube.


The deal widens the Sky – Bundesliga partnership, offering Sky UK synergies with its European partners. Sky already is the home of live Bundesliga in Germany. It also holds Bundesliga rights in its other European territories, such as Austria and Italy.

Sky Sports Managing Director Jonathan Licht said: “We’re delighted to have acquired the rights to the Bundesliga. Sky Sports customers will have the opportunity to watch some of the best players in the world as well as some of the leading teams in Europe.”

BT loses out

BT had been the exclusive rights owner of live Bundesliga in the UK for the last seven years. At the time, BT was aggressively purchasing broadcast rights to shore up its new sports channels. However, the telecoms company is now trying to offload its sports channels as it focuses on fibre broadband build-out.
