NY Post is reporting that ESPN+ is close to get Bundesliga rights starting 2020-2021 season.

This season will still be with FOX.

It seems like because of the coronavirus, DAZN cancelled the contract that it had to the Bundesliga. So those rights are available and Bundesliga agreed an one match deal with both DAZN and Amazon. All of this are for rights only in Germany and Austria.

^^SAME :argh:

We've had a very good run of "free" coverage here :911: on FoxSports 1,2 for the last 6+ years and received (I'm guessing) 95% of all the games, since those channels were usually included in a standard TV package.

ESPN is only showing 4 matches on their regular channel this year, and I'm pretty sure yesterday's was 1 of them. I'm not very motivated having to pay ESPN+ $6/month (and use their dumb separate app) going forward to watch. Hopefully ESPN+ implodes and the matches go to ESPN's normal channels.

I don't want to go back to the dark days of pre-2010 watching on laptop via shady russian streams, etc. :smith:

I would not say 95% were on Fox Sports. Maybe 50% of matches were on TV and the rest were on their streaming platform or Fox Soccer Plus that no one pays for. Also not everyone gets Fox Sports 2 as it can be in a higher tier package and that is where they stick most of the Bundesliga matches.

With ESPN+, it is a much better streaming platform than Fox Soccer Match Pass.
