Bundesliga fans have long demanded a League Pass similar to what the NFL, NBA and MLB offer. DFL CEO Christian Seifter let the reluctance of the German Football League shine through when added: “If needed in certain markets, not our preferred option.”
Although not officially confirmed yet, in the United States FOX are to lose their Bundesliga rights at the end of the 2019/20 season. The German topflight will reportedly move to ESPN+ with the start of the 2020/21 season.
