Overview
- The DFB, which announced the venture Wednesday, will debut the 24/7 channel DFB.TV on May 22 with carriage on DAZN, HD+, Vodafone and Zattoo.
- Viewers can also use the companion app DFB.TV+, priced at €5.99 per month or €59.99 per year, while pay‑TV customers who get the channel through their platform pay no extra fee.
- The schedule centers on events that rarely air elsewhere, including youth national teams, the 2. Frauen‑Bundesliga, the Finaltag der Amateure, futsal, beach soccer and the DFB ePokal, plus archives and magazine shows.
- Top rights remain with current partners, so DFB.TV will not show live matches of the senior national teams, the men’s DFB‑Pokal or the Frauen‑Bundesliga, and it plans World Cup features without game rights.
- The venture is a joint operation with Sportainment for production, Deltatre for the app technology and Publicis Media for ad sales, and it launches as debates over access persist, with Saturday’s Germany–Austria women’s qualifier streaming online rather than on free TV.
