Bayern Munich Fans Can Stream Bundesliga and Champions League in Spanish via Peacock Media rights for European football in the United States have been reshaped this week as the Bundesliga finalized its English-language broadcast deals, awarding them to USA Network and Fandango. Spanish-language rights for the league were granted to Telemundo, which is part of Peacock, NBCUniversal’s streaming service. This development has positioned Peacock as a potential one-stop platform for Bayern Munich supporters seeking coverage of both Bundesliga matches and Champions League fixtures, provided they prefer Spanish-language broadcasts. Jonathan Tannenwald, a soccer journalist, highlighted that Telemundo’s acquisition of Champions League Spanish rights allows fans to access all of Bayern Munich’s competitive action in a single service. However, the arrangement is not without limitations. For English-language coverage, USA Network remains the primary outlet, though it is available on most linear cable providers as part of their basic packages. Fandango, on the other hand, offers free access to Bundesliga games, making it an attractive option for cost-conscious viewers. Despite these options, the availability of certain matches is restricted. Some Bundesliga games will exclusively air on USA Network, which could complicate efforts to consolidate viewing choices. While the current setup provides fans with multiple avenues to follow their favorite team, it does not extend to all competitions. The DFB-Pokal, Germany’s domestic cup tournament, and the 2. Bundesliga, the country’s second-tier league, remain unaccounted for in the current media rights framework. The shift in broadcasting rights underscores the growing importance of streaming platforms in the U.S. market, as traditional cable providers face declining subscriber numbers.#bayern_munich #peacock #usa_network #telemundo #fandango
