Bundesliga and 3. Liga broadcast deals expand across TV in Germany and Brazil

Jovem Pan secured a three‑season partnership to air Germany’s top two football divisions – the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 – on open‑air TV and its YouTube channel, marking the first international league the Brazilian broadcaster will show live. The agreement, announced for the 2026/27 season, will feature three matches per round (one from the first division, two from the second) with additional radio, social‑media and studio coverage.

In Germany, public‑service channels (WDR, NDR, BR, ARD) have scheduled 68 free‑to‑air 3. Liga matches for the 2026/27 campaign. Rot‑Weiss Essen will not appear on any of the first four matchdays, while local rival MSV Duisburg receives three live slots. A detailed TV‑schedule lists the exact dates, times and broadcasters for each fixture.

RTL announced that it will broadcast three first‑round DFB‑Pokal games in free TV – the matches of 1. FC Saarbrücken vs Hertha BSC, Würzburger Kick­ers vs 1. FC Köln and HEBC Hamburg vs Borussia Dortmund – with live coverage also available on Sky’s pay‑TV platform.
