Top-flight German football will be shown live on the BBC this season after rights were secured to broadcast one Bundesliga match a week through to 2027.

The coverage will start on Friday, 22 August when defending champions Bayern Munich welcome RB Leipzig to the Allianz Arena.

Other confirmed games include 2023-24 champions Bayer Leverkusen against Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayern v Werder Bremen.

All matches will be available to watch live on the BBC Sport website, app and on BBC iPlayer every Friday, with clips of the biggest in-game moments across BBC Sport's social media channels.

Alex Kay-Jelski, Director of BBC Sport, says: "To be able to include Bundesliga matches within our live football offering is phenomenal, especially Bayern Munich's opening game featuring England's captain Harry Kane.

"I'm proud BBC Sport has such an impressive portfolio of football coverage across all of our platforms - from live games to highlights and digital clips, to breaking news on the website, we've got fans covered this season."
