Bundesliga TV Rights Shift: DAZN Secures Saturday Conference, Sky Retains Key Packages

The DFL's new media rights deal for 2025-2029 reshuffles game coverage, with major changes for fans and broadcasters.

DAZN has acquired the rights to the Bundesliga's Saturday conference, a signature format previously held by Sky for 25 years.
Sky retains the sought-after Package B, covering Friday evening matches, Saturday afternoon games, and the relegation playoffs.
The new deal ensures fans will still need subscriptions to both DAZN and Sky to access all Bundesliga matches live.
The 2nd Bundesliga's Saturday top games will move from Sport1 to RTL, while Sky keeps the majority of 2nd league matches.
The financial details of the deal, including subscription costs and total revenue for clubs, are expected to be announced later this week.
