DFB.TV

DFB.TV is the dedicated media platform of the German Football Association (Deutscher Fußball-Bund, DFB), the governing body of football in Germany. It is positioned as "the home of German football" and bundles live coverage, on-demand programming and a large archive of German football history into a single destination. The service is aimed at German football fans who want national-team matches, cup competitions, lower-division and amateur football, women's football, futsal, beach soccer and eFootball, as well as documentaries, interviews and analysis. The platform is offered in two complementary forms. DFB.TV+ is the direct-to-consumer streaming subscription, available through an app on smart TVs, smartphones and PCs, giving subscribers access to the pay-TV channel with all live content plus a media library of on-demand programming. Separately, DFB.TV operates as a 24/7 pay-TV channel distributed through third-party TV and streaming providers such as Sky, DAZN and Vodafone, following a fixed broadcast schedule. Subscription pricing shown on the official site includes a monthly DFB.TV+ plan at €5.99 per month and an annual plan at €59.99 per year, with the annual option advertised as saving 17% versus monthly billing and both described as cancellable monthly. Content spans live under-21 and other youth national-team matches, women's DFB-Pokal, the 2. Frauen-Bundesliga, the "Finaltag der Amateure" (amateur finals day), top amateur-league matches, futsal, beach soccer and eFootball, plus DFB special events and draws. Non-live programming includes classics from the DFB archive, legendary World Cup and European Championship matches, DFB-Pokal highlights, 3. Liga and Frauen-Bundesliga content, Regionalliga highlights, exclusive interviews, background reports and analyses, World Cup and European Championship tournament magazines, national-team features, daily news, expert talks and special formats covering the DFB universe, including refereeing, coaching education and the DFB Academy. As a DFB-owned property, DFB.TV functions as the association's own direct channel to supporters, complementing the rights deals the DFB makes with external broadcasters. It gives the association control over distribution of its archive and niche competitions that might otherwise receive limited airtime, while creating a subscription revenue stream. The service is German-language and focused on the German market.

DFB.TV is the streaming and pay-TV service operated by the German Football Association (Deutscher Fußball-Bund, DFB), the national governing body of football in Germany. The platform was created as the association's own media outlet, giving the DFB a direct channel to fans rather than relying solely on third-party broadcasters for distribution of its content. The service is built around two delivery models. The first is DFB.TV+, a direct-to-consumer subscription available through an app on smart TVs, smartphones and PCs. Subscribers receive the pay-TV channel with all live content and access to a media library of on-demand programming. The second is the DFB.TV pay-TV channel itself, a 24/7 linear service distributed through third-party providers including Sky, DAZN and Vodafone, following a fixed broadcast schedule. Programming covers a wide range of German football. Live content includes under-national-team internationals, the women's DFB-Pokal, the 2. Frauen-Bundesliga, the Finaltag der Amateure (amateur finals day), top amateur-league matches, futsal, beach soccer and eFootball, as well as DFB special events and draws. Non-live content draws on the DFB archive, featuring classic World Cup and European Championship matches, DFB-Pokal highlights, 3. Liga and Frauen-Bundesliga coverage, Regionalliga highlights, exclusive interviews, background reports and analyses, tournament magazines, national-team features, daily news, expert talks and special formats covering the DFB universe, including the DFB-Punktespiel and school programmes, the DFB Academy, coaching education and refereeing. Subscription pricing advertised on the official site includes a monthly DFB.TV+ plan at €5.99 per month and an annual plan at €59.99 per year, with the annual option presented as saving 17% compared with monthly billing and both described as cancellable monthly. The pay-TV channel is available depending on the provider. By operating DFB.TV, the DFB controls the distribution of its archive and provides airtime for competitions and content that may receive limited coverage from commercial broadcasters, while generating subscription revenue directly from fans.
