The beautiful game is back today as Germany’s Bundesliga restarts its 2019/20 season and offers a glimmer of hope to football fans all over the world. Like nearly all global sport, the league ground to a halt back in March due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but now top-tier European soccer is back on the cards with some fantastic fixtures scheduled across Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Ready for kick-off? Here’s how to watch every match today – either on TV or by using a reliable online Bundesliga live stream today.
You’ll find a complete Bundesliga fixture list below, with Saturday’s afternoon matches providing an ample amount of action and goals – not least in the eagerly anticipated Dortmund vs Schalke game.
Dortmund have serious aspirations to lift the Salatschüssel, while Schalke hope that a strong finish to the season could propel them into European football in the next campaign.
English football fans will be particularly interested in Dortmund’s rising Three Lions star Jadon Sancho, who is part of a ferocious Dortmund attack that also features Norwegian wunderkind Erling Braut Haaland, German international Mario Götze, and Eden Hazard’s younger brother, Thorgan. Who makes the Dortmund starting IX each is anyone’s guess, when you have that kind of talent!
American soccer fans also have plenty of reason to want to tune in to the Bundesliga, with promosing youngsters like Josh Sargent (Werder Bremen) and Weston McKennie (Schalke) plying their trade in the Bundesliga this season alongside USMNT veterans John Brooks (Wolfsburg) and Fabian Johnson (Borussia Mönchengladbach)
With that in mind, here’s this weekend’s complete German football schedule, followed by how to live stream Bundesliga on TV and watch matches online from anywhere in the world.

Anyone from these countries currently abroad may find they can’t access the streaming services they normally would at home. This is because of geo-blocking, but there’s a very easy solution in the form of a VPN…
How to watch the Bundesliga from outside your country
If you’re abroad and can’t bear to miss out on the big Bundesliga restart, don’t worry. While you may initially encounter a problem watching your usual domestic coverage in the form of geo-blocking, there’s an easy solution to this common annoyance.
It’s called a VPN and it’s a clever bit of software that relocates your device back to your country of origin – thereby allowing you to regain access to the services you normally use (and almost certainly pay for) back home.
