The broadcast rights
The good news for everyone who wants to watch the games on free TV: SportA, the joint sports rights agency of ARD and ZDF, has acquired the rights to the DFB Cup games. The Erste and ZDF are each allowed to broadcast 15 games live per season, which represents an increase of two games compared to before. The broadcasts include the two semi-finals as well as the eagerly awaited cup final. The comprehensive reporting and digital clips make football hearts beat faster.
For fans who don't want to miss a game, Sky Deutschland remains the main provider and shows all 63 games in full length, including the original Sky conference.

Sport1 has also secured the right to show free-to-air match reports and clips the following day.
Werder Bremen in the DFB Cup
Werder Bremen has shown combativeness in the last games of the DFB Cup, even though the last encounter in the quarter-finals against Arminia Bielefeld on February 25, 2025 ended in a 2-1 defeat. Despite many chances, including a blocked shot from Njinmah and a disallowed goal from Burke, the club could not progress beyond the quarter-finals. The exciting first half offered a lot, but ultimately Werder failed at the crucial moment.
Things now continue for Bremen: The next game is against VfL Wolfsburg on March 1st, where they want to rehabilitate themselves for the narrow defeat.
The DFB Cup remains exciting and preparations for the upcoming games are in full swing. Fans can look forward to exciting games that will create passion both on screen and in the stadium. The first duels promise a lot of action and drama. Keep August 15th and 18th free – it could be a memorable time for football fans!
