Like in most parts of the globe, the streaming of content and particularly live sport has come a long way in Germany.
A market that was once overloaded with pop-up-fuelled, unreliable and often illegal streaming options now has a number of official, legitimate choices for viewing sport on your preferred device.
In Germany, depending on the provider, sports streaming can be available on mobiles and tablets, plus certain Smart TVs and gaming consoles. It’s always worth checking with providers to ascertain device compatibility for your chosen sport.
International sports streaming companies like DAZN and Eurosport have access to a variety of professional sports in Germany. They offer a wide range of options and prices, with many also coming with free trial periods. Though DAZN has Germany’s pride and joy the Bundesliga and other football leagues like La Liga.
You can also access sports leagues or individual German teams through dedicated apps or channels directly from the source, such as FC Bayern TV or WWE Network.
Sports streaming offers Germans a new way to get there sports instead of relying on Pay TV services and channels such as Sportdigital and Sky Deutschland
It’s also not just the live action itself sports fans seek. Features like split screens, highlights, multiple camera angles and dedicated shows are also selling points.
Free trials are common. iOS and Android devices, Smart TVs and apps are all options to access content. In an increasingly crowded market, more sports and improved features are becoming available all the time.
Mobile phone carriers in Germany have been quick to jump onto the sports streaming bandwagon. Mobile providers like Deutsche Telekom have established their own sports streaming sites and secured access to content.
Apple TV, Chromecast, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Amazon Fire TV, plus Mac and PC, are other ways to access some of the content. Providers typically have monthly and annual subscriptions.
Again here it depends on your provider and bandwidth. For example, Chromecast’s video output is 1080p, while it also has 4K available on Chromecast Ultra. Apple TV also has 1080p and 4K options.
If you have an Internet connection speed of around 30Mbps for download and 2.5Mbps for uploading you should be free to access content to most devices without any buffering or other issues. Streaming sport in 4K uses around 7GB/hour while HD uses a little less at around 3GB/hour.
