Germany: Sky Deutschland to broadcast one DFB-Pokal Frauen match per round in 2021-22

The pay-TV operator Sky Deutschland has acquired the broadcasting rights in Germany, Austria and Switzerland for one match per round (i.e. six matches including the final) of the 2021-22 DFB-Pokal Frauen (Women's German Cup) from the DFB on 28/07/2021.

This announcement comes five days after Sky Deutschland extended its broadcasting rights to the men's German Cup (DFB-Pokal) for the 2022-2026 cycle (see below).

"The women's DFB-Pokal is one of the absolute top competitions in women's sport in Germany. After the Wanda Diamond League (athletics), the W Series (women's single-seater racing championship using Formula 3 cars) and the first live broadcast of a women's golf major on German television, the DFB-Pokal Frauen is another big step in our plan to show more top women's sport in our programming," said Hans Gabbe, senior vice-president sports rights & commercialisation, at Sky Deutschland.
