► Which subscriptions do you need for everything?
In order to be able to see all 612 Bundesliga and second division games, two subscriptions are required: The Bundesliga package from Sky (currently available for EUR 20 per month) and DAZN (from EUR 24.99 per month in an annual subscription, otherwise 29, 99 euros per month). This means that the price has doubled compared to the previous year (from 12.50 euros) at DAZN.
Anyone who already has a Sky Bundesliga package can book a DAZN annual subscription for 19.99 per month. There is also a combination subscription for 38.99 euros.
The monthly streaming offer Sky-Ticket is now called WOW. The name is intended to emphasize the emotionality of watching.
