DAZN Takes Over Bundesliga Saturday Conference as Sky’s New Features Leave Many Locked Out

Fans now face a fragmented, subscription-heavy setup that limits Sky’s promised multi-game controls to specific receivers.

Overview

  • On the first Saturday of the new rights cycle, DAZN carries the live conference while Sky retains the 15:30 single matches and the 18:30 top match.
  • DAZN has moved the conference out of a fixed studio to stadium-side presentations, starting coverage at 14:00 with more frequent switches and split screens.
  • Sky’s new Multiview and Match-Alarm work only on Sky Q or Sky Stream, a company spokesperson confirmed, excluding viewers on WOW, Sky Go and other access paths from interactive switching.
  • The restricted availability prompted confusion and disappointment among customers as the season’s weekend slate kicked off.
  • Most Saturday fixtures are behind paywalls; for example, Werder Bremen vs. Bayer Leverkusen at 15:30 is available as a Sky single match and within DAZN’s conference, with no Free-TV option.
