USA Sports is the new exclusive English-language home of the Bundesliga - Germany's top domestic soccer league - beginning this August with more than 300 live matches airing in the United States across USA Network and streaming on Versant-owned Fandango.

As part of the long-term partnership which runs through the 2030-31 season, USA Sports will present live coverage of all Bundesliga regular season matches. Coverage begins Saturday, August 22, on USA Network with Der Klassiker - one of the Bundesliga's biggest rivalries - as Harry Kane and defending champion Bayern Munich face runners-up Borussia Dortmund in the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup.

USA Sports' 300-plus Bundesliga matches will be comprised of at least 30 matches on USA Network and all other matches will stream for free on Fandango, with clubs such as Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Bayer 04 Leverkusen, FC Schalke 04, RB Leipzig, Eintracht Frankfurt, and Hamburg SV featured prominently throughout the majority of USA Network's schedule.

"USA Sports is thrilled to be the exclusive English-language home of the Bundesliga in the U.S., adding one of the world's elite soccer leagues to our robust portfolio of premium live sports rights," said Matt Hong, President, USA Sports. "The Bundesliga boasts some of the most well-known clubs and players in the world and has an established connection with American soccer fans. Our partnership with the Bundesliga represents another significant milestone in the growth of USA Sports as we continue to build a premier destination for live sports and deliver more of the events fans care about most."

"The 2026 World Cup has highlighted the tremendous growth potential of soccer in the U.S.," said Robin Austermann, Bundesliga Americas Executive Vice President. "We've seen that momentum firsthand, with the number of Bundesliga fans in the U.S. growing by 43% over the past five years. Our partnership with Versant's USA Sports marks the next phase of our strategy, combining outstanding distribution with significant growth opportunities by bringing the Bundesliga closer to more fans across the United States than ever before."

Established in 1963, the Bundesliga's end-to-end attacking style makes it the highest scoring league of all European top-flights. Boasting the biggest attendances in world soccer, the Bundesliga delivers world class stars and local heroes, having the second-most players of any league at the FIFA 2026 World Cup.

USA Sports will present more than 1,000 hours of live soccer during the 2026-27 season inclusive of its Bundesliga and Premier League coverage. USA Sports' media rights agreement with the Bundesliga is the latest long-term agreement for USA Sports in the past 12 months, which include the WNBA, Pac-12 football and basketball, USGA, PGA of America, and DP World Tour - all of which run into the 2030s.
