YouTuber Mark Goldbridge has been awarded part of the Bundesliga's live broadcasting rights in the United Kingdom, allowing him to show matches this season.
This new agreement - the first time a major European football league has awarded its broadcasting rights to a content creator - will be in place for the Bundesliga’s first round of fixtures this weekend, which kicks off on Friday night with defending champions Bayern Munich hosting RB Leipzig.
That match — and all other Friday night games for the next two seasons — will be shown live on the BBC, on both the website and the iPlayer while Gary Neville's 'The Overlap' and Goldbridge’s 'That’s Football' channels will share those rights, showing 20 live Friday night games in 2025-26 in watch-along formats.
All games will be free-to-air while the Bundesliga’s own YouTube channel will be live broadcasting all Friday night games in the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2, the second tier of German football.
The Overlap currently has over 1.5m subscribers, while Goldbridge’s That’s Football, boasts a further 1.39m subscribers.
“That’s Football will stream 20 live Bundesliga matches on Friday nights as well as creating 34 weekly shows in 25/26 – the first creator channel with official league rights," Goldbridge’s channel posted on Twitter.
“A landmark deal putting That’s Football alongside Sky, BBC & Amazon in the Bundesliga UK strategy.”
Goldbridge, whose real name is Brent di Cesare, posted: “Thanks to the community for helping us build this. We keep moving.”
