How you can watch the Bundesliga fixtures on TV and online in the UK

Live European football continues this week with the Bundesliga building upon it’s successful return with two action-packed matchdays.

Germany's top-flight football season returned under strict health and safety rules and with no fans attending games, a move that the Premier League are likely to follow in the coming weeks.

Like the Premier League, the Bundesliga was suspended in March due to the Coronavirus outbreak, but unlike in England, professional sides in Germany have been training since mid-April.

Divided into small groups and under strict conditions, including extensive Covid-19 testing of all players and coaching staff, players have been allowed to continue to train and prepare for a restart.

How can you watch the matches ?

BT Sport holds the rights to games in the UK and Ireland and will be showing fixtures across its range of channels.

The broadcaster normally shows four fixtures a week, but there is strong speculation that BT will look to show as many games as they possibly can.

You can browse the available BT Sport packages here or, alternatively, if you don't want to be tied down to a fixed contract, you can browse their Monthly Passes here.

Can I stream Bundesliga matches?

Existing BT Sport customers will be able to stream the action via the BT Sport app, while additional streaming is available on the BT Sport website.

EE mobile customers can also watch BT Sport coverage at no cost, thanks to a subscription plan announced by the network.

"To say thanks for being with us, here's a special sporting treat for our monthly mobile and tablet customers: three months’ free BT Sport on your EE phone and connected tablet,” the company said.

“Just text SPORT to 150, register for a BT ID then download the BT Sport app and get watching!"
