Reliable sources: DAZN secures broadcast rights to the “Bundesliga Konferenz”

By Peter Weis@PeterVicey
Germany’s preeminent footballing publication (Kicker Magazine) is currently confirming a report originating in Germany’s Associated Press (Deutsche Press-Agentur) concerning the awarding of the Bundesliga’s most lucrative broadcast package to German broadcaster DAZN. 

The popular “Bundesliga Konferenz” – which takes German viewers through all the simultaneous Saturday 15:30 kickoffs – is set to change hands. Sky Germany – the previous owners of the “Konferenz” will take over the Friday fixtures.

Full details on the four major broadcast packages awarded for the four seasons spanning from the 2025/26 to the 2026/27 campaign can be found below.

 

After an initial auction over broadcast rights in April had to be nullified due to a trade complaint from German broadcaster DAZN, reliable German media sources are now reporting that DAZN have secured the most lucrative of the broadcast rights for the next four years of Bundesliga coverage. Both Kicker Magazine and the German Associated Press (Deutsche Press-Agentur) claim that DAZN has come out on top. 

The German league body responsible for administering Germany’s top two footballing flights (DFL) auctions off broadcast rights packages every four years. This year, the DFL decides to cleave up rights packages a little differently. DAZN lost out to Sky in the April bidding after the DFL claimed that the DAZN did not demonstrative proof of long term financial viability in time to have its higher bid accepted.

DAZN’s trade dispute with the DFL resulted in “Deutsche Institution für Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit” (DIS) ruling that DAZN was indeed not given enough time to assemble the documents the DFL demanded. The German court of arbitration thus ruled that the auction had to be repeated. This time, DAZN’s higher bid for the top package has been accepted.

A summary of the four broadcast packages:

Package A (DAZN):

-The Bundesliga Saturday 15:30 kickoffs “Konferenz”.

Package B (Sky):

-Friday kickoffs.

-Individual Saturday 15:30 kickoffs.

Package C (Sky):

-The Saturday evening 18:30 “Top-Spiel”.

-The DFL Supercup.

-Promotion/Relegation fixtures.

Package D (DAZN):

-The Sunday kickoffs.
