RTL Reshuffles Lineup as Germany Faces Turkey in EuroBasket Final

Surging viewership has prompted RTL to move NFL coverage to Nitro, centering Sunday night on the EuroBasket final.

Overview

  • Germany meets Turkey in the EuroBasket 2025 final on Sunday at 20:00 in Riga, with live coverage on RTL and streams via MagentaSport and RTL+.
  • RTL begins its broadcast at 19:05; the Seahawks–Steelers game shifts to Nitro, while the later Eagles–Chiefs matchup remains on RTL.
  • Strong ratings drove the changes, with the Slovenia quarterfinal peaking at about 3.94 million viewers and the Friday semifinal against Finland drawing roughly 2.93 million.
  • Friday’s EM coverage pre-empted five RTL shows, and the Unter uns episode is available on RTL+ and scheduled to re-air on free TV Monday at 09:30.
  • Reporting indicates a €30,000-per-player bonus if Germany wins the title, and BILD notes no senior German politicians are expected in Riga as Turkey plans for President Erdogan’s attendance.
