Watch Free Sports with a VPN to Germany.

ZDF and ARD stream Bundesliga highlights, DFB-Pokal, Champions League games with German teams, and major tournaments free in Germany.

Germany's public broadcasters ZDF and ARD hold a surprising amount of free sports rights. Champions League games featuring German teams (Bayern, Dortmund, Leipzig) are often free live. DFB-Pokal knockout rounds, the Confederations Cup, Olympics, World Cup and Euros are all free-to-air. For Bundesliga highlights, ZDF's "Sportschau" on Saturday evening is the Match of the Day equivalent. A VPN to Germany unlocks all of this.
