Hardly has the 2026 World Cup become history, and the next football highlight is already around the corner: the start of the 2026/27 Bundesliga season. And with it the old question – where can you actually watch all the games without paying for multiple subscriptions? In this guide, you will learn why watching Bundesliga has become so expensive, which cheap alternative exists, and how to be ready in time for the first kick-off.
When does the 2026/27 Bundesliga season start?
The dates are set: The 1st matchday of the 2026/27 Bundesliga will be played from Friday, August 28, to Sunday, August 30, 2026. The opening match takes place on Friday evening at 20:30 – the official kick-off of the new season.
- Fri, 28.08.2026, 20:30 – Opening match and season kick-off
- 28.–30.08.2026 – complete 1st Bundesliga matchday
- 21.–24.08.2026 – 1st round of the DFB-Pokal, one week before
- 22.08.2026 – Supercup as the start of the competitive season
- 07.08.2026 – the 2nd Bundesliga already starts three weeks earlier
This means for you: Football is back as early as the beginning of August, and it gets really serious from the cup weekend onwards. If you don't want to miss a match, it's best to set up your streaming setup the week before – that way there's enough time to test in peace instead of installing an app on Friday evening at 20:25.
Why watching Bundesliga has become so expensive
Every fan knows the basic problem: broadcasting rights are split between different providers. Saturday matches run on one service, Friday and Sunday matches on another, plus the cup, international competitions, and top leagues from abroad – each with its own subscription. Those who really want to see everything quickly pay a high double-digit amount per month, often with a long contract commitment.
- Multiple subscriptions necessary because providers split the matchdays
- Long contract terms with automatic renewal
- Price increases for the new season are almost a tradition
- International leagues and cup usually cost extra
The alternative: all games in one app
This is exactly where German 4K comes in: Instead of multiple subscriptions, you get German and international football broadcasts bundled in a single app – the complete German league, the German Cup, the 2nd league as well as the Spanish, English, French, and Italian leagues. In addition, over 36,000 further live channels and 150,000 movies & series for the time between matchdays.
This is particularly practical in August because the leagues start one after the other and you would otherwise need a separate subscription for each one:
- La Liga – Season start on 15.08.2026
- Premier League – Season start on 21.08.2026
- Serie A – Season start on 22.08.2026
- Ligue 1 – Season start on 23.08.2026
- Bundesliga – 1st matchday from 28. to 30.08.2026
The best part: There is no contract and no automatic renewal. You pay once for your term and decide for yourself after the season how to proceed.
Bundesliga in real 4K – even at primetime
Especially with live football, technology decides the fun: A freezing image during injury time is every fan's nightmare. Thanks to anti-buffer technology, the streams at German 4K run stably – even on Saturdays at 15:30 when millions tune in simultaneously. You experience top matches in real 4K, razor-sharp down to the last blade of grass. And if you prefer to follow all games in parallel: You will also find conference formats in the program.
And after that? Champions League from September 8th
With the Bundesliga start, the calendar is not yet full: The Champions League will be drawn on August 27, and the first round of the league phase runs from September 8 to 10, 2026. After that, league weekends and midweek matches alternate – and that's exactly when you'll notice if your access covers everything or if an additional subscription is due again for the premier class.
