From August 2025, fans can expect a comprehensive reform in the transmission of the games, in which Sky and DAZN will be the main actors. According to Derwesten.de Sky will get the Friday evening game back and offers an attractive offer for spectators.

The Bundesliga rights for the game periods from 2025/26 to 2028/29 have been re-awarded, which significantly changed the structure of the transmissions. Sky will continue to play a dominant role and plans to broadcast up to 80% of the Bundesliga games live and exclusively. From 2025/26 to 2028/29, Sky will remain the home of the Bundesliga, while DAZN will broadcast the Sunday games and the new conference on Saturday, such as Kicker.de reported.
