The Bundesliga is one of the easiest top leagues to watch for free in 2026/27, both in the UK and the US. Here’s the full picture.
UK
The UK rights are split three ways:
- Sky Sports shows the top-pick Saturday 5.30pm match each week.
- Amazon Prime Video shows the Sunday afternoon games on a pay-per-view basis.
- BBC shows Friday-night matches, free on BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website (a TV licence is required).
Saturday 3.30pm German kick-offs (2.30pm UK) fall partly inside the UK’s 3pm blackout window, which is one reason many of them aren’t shown live.
Ireland
Rights in Ireland are shared by Sky Sports and Amazon Prime Video.
USA
The Bundesliga moved from ESPN to USA Sports for 2026/27:
- Fandango streams 270+ matches free, with ads, and needs no cable login or subscription.
- USA Network shows 30+ of the biggest games, including Der Klassiker between Bayern and Dortmund.
- In Spanish, Telemundo and Universo carry 100+ matches and Peacock streams every match.
Canada
DAZN shows the Bundesliga in Canada.
Australia
beIN Sports shows every Bundesliga match.
