RTL Broadcasts Bayern Match Live on Free TV: Here’s Why
Football fans are in for an unexpected treat. Today’s match between Köln and Bayern at 20:30 will be broadcast live on free TV via the private network RTL. This notable event stems from a collaboration between the pay-TV channel Sky and RTL.
Sky and RTL Partnership
The partnership is part of a larger strategy involving Sky’s potential acquisition by the Köln-based parent company. Currently, they are awaiting final approval from the relevant authorities. The existing rights agreement between Sky and the Deutsche Fußball Liga GmbH (DFL) permits one match from both the first and second halves of the season to be shown on free television. This serves as a promotional offering through Sky or via a sublicensing arrangement with another network.
Upcoming Free TV Matches
In addition to today’s highly anticipated Bayern match, RTL has secured rights for another major matchup. Fans can look forward to the Borussia Dortmund versus Mainz game, scheduled for February 13.
Match Commentary
- Wolf Fuss (49 years old) will be the lead commentator.
- Lothar Matthäus (64 years old) will join as co-commentator.
Furthermore, the game will also be available on DAZN in a conference format and on Sky as an individual broadcast channel.
Conclusion
The collaboration between Sky and RTL opens up exciting opportunities for football fans. Watching Bayern’s match tonight for free marks a special occasion in German football broadcasting.
