Watch the Bundesliga live in the betting shop

In many Tipico betting shops, Bundesliga matches play out on the screens, depending on each shop's commercial licence. Your Tipico betting shop is a betting agency, not a sports bar or a pub. What's shown on the screens comes down to the shop's commercial licence. These licences come from providers such as Sky Business or DAZN For Business.

The line-up isn't the same everywhere. One shop shows a particular match, another shows a different one. Some show plenty of matches, some only a few. So never assume that every match is on everywhere. If you want to see a specific match, ask on-site.

You can find a shop near you through the betting shop finder. The daily programme shows what's on for a given day.

In the 2025/26 season, the Bundesliga is split across Sky, WOW, DAZN and SAT.1, and the kick-off time usually tells you which broadcaster has a match. Sky and the streaming service WOW show some of the matches, DAZN shows the rest. A few games are on free-to-air on SAT.1.

The Saturday conference at 15:30 is on DAZN and brings together the matches being played in parallel. In midweek rounds, matches are also played during the week. The official fixture list then shows which broadcaster has them. SAT.1 also shows a few matches free-to-air.

Which broadcaster is on exactly comes down to the shop and its licence. You can read which broadcasters are possible in the betting shop on the page Which broadcasters in the betting shop.

The official broadcaster allocation for each individual match is set out in the Bundesliga fixture list, usually from the Wednesday before the matchday. There you can see, fixture by fixture, which broadcaster is carrying it. This information is only confirmed from Wednesday, because that's when the kick-off times become final.

Go about it in three steps. First, check the fixture list for when your match kicks off and which broadcaster is showing it. Second, look at the daily programme to see what's on that day. Third, ask at your shop whether it's showing that exact match on the screens. That way you don't make the trip for nothing.

If you don't have your own Sky, WOW or DAZN subscription, you can follow matches on the screens in your Tipico betting shop, as long as the shop shows them under its commercial licence. This is no substitute for a private subscription and isn't meant to get round one. It's a way to enjoy matches together, out and about. You can find a betting shop near you through the location search.

Free-to-air matches on SAT.1 you can watch without a subscription anyway. These include the opening match, the Supercup, the relegation play-offs and a few other fixtures. Exactly which ones is set out in the fixture list.

Sport in the shop is entertainment. Betting is voluntary and never a must. Gambling is only permitted from the age of 18 (21 in Bremen) and can be addictive.
