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.
