Live European football is set to return to TV screens on May 16 as the Bundesliga restarts behind-closed-doors.
Germany's top- flight football season will return 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 has been suspended since 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.
The Ruhr Valley derby between Borussia Dortmund and Schalke is the big fixture to watch out for when action resumes on May 16 and below is how fans in the UK can watch the action live.
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.
All matches will be shown live on BT Sport.
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.
