Magdeburg is fighting in the DFB Cup: top game against Illertissen live today!

On Wednesday, October 29, 2025, there will be an exciting duel in the DFB Cup in the Vöhlin Stadium: 1. FC Magdeburg welcomes FV Illertissen. Kick-off is at 6 p.m. The Magdeburgers go into the game as the clear favorites, not least because FV Illertissen managed the sensation of knocking the second division team 1. FC Nürnberg out of the competition on penalties in the first round of the cup.

The question for fans is how they can watch the game live. Unfortunately, there are no live images on free TV because the usual channels such as ARD, ZDF and RTL do not broadcast. Instead, the 2024/25 DFB Cup will be shown almost exclusively by the pay-TV provider Sky. For viewers who want to follow the individual game, it will be broadcast on “Sky Sport 5 HD”. Fans can also watch the conference of the 6 p.m. games on “Sky Sport Top Event HD”.

Live broadcast for fans

There are several ways to make the game accessible to fans. Sky subscribers can not only watch the game on television, but also conveniently watch it via the “Sky-Go” app. For those who don't have a subscription, there is an alternative option: The “Onefootball” app offers the single game as an in-app purchase for €4.99. This means you can stay close to the action even without a pay TV subscription.

The encounter promises excitement, especially because of Illertissen's surprise success, which made the audience sit up and take notice. Magdeburg, on the other hand, will do everything in its power to live up to their role as favorites and secure a place in the next round of the DFB Cup.
