Goaaaaal! ProSiebenSat.1 secures live rights to Bundesliga football until 2029
Unterföhring, December 5, 2024. ProSiebenSat.1 is the only free TV company to show live matches from the top German football league. ProSiebenSat.1 has once again acquired the only exclusive live free TV package of Bundesliga football matches. This means that the ball will be rolling at ProSiebenSat.1 for another four seasons until 2029. Every season, there will be nine top matches live and free-to-air for every football fan in Germany. In addition to the Super Cup and the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 season-opening matches, the package includes the matches before and after the winter break as well as all four relegation duels.
Henrik Pabst, Chief Content Officer of ProSiebenSat.1: "We want to offer our viewers the best free of charge on Joyn and our channels. That's why we are celebrating the fact that we have once again secured the most attractive Bundesliga rights package for free TV. This is a great sign for all football fans in Germany. Until 2029, SAT.1 and 'ran', perhaps Germany's best sports editorial team, will bring the Bundesliga live into viewers' living rooms nine times."
Gernot Bauer, Head of Sports at ProSiebenSat.1: "The Bundesliga is the heart of German football. Especially in times of increasing fragmentation, it is important to us to be able to reliably show football fans the absolute highlights on Joyn and on SAT.1. The best German football continues to be available live and free only from us. With Matthias Opdenhövel and our 'ran' team, we will continue to offer the audience first-class football and unique live evenings in the coming years. In addition to the Bundesliga, the U21 European Championship will also be coming to us live in 2025."
