The Bundesliga, the most important German football league, is starting its 62nd season. The 2024-25 season will run from Friday, August 23rd to Saturday, May 17th, 2025.
To kick off the new season, Borussia Mönchengladbach will face league champions Bayer 04 Leverkusen at Borussia Park in Mönchengladbach from 2:30 p.m. ET (11:30 a.m. PT).
If you want to live stream the 2024-25 Bundesliga season online, you can subscribe to ESPN+ for $10.99/month. However, if you don’t want to pay monthly, you can subscribe for an annual subscription for $109.99/year, which is a 15% saving on the monthly price.
ESPN+ subscribers have access to live sports from UFC, Top Rank Boxing, NFL, MLB, NHL and F1, as well as hit original shows such as “The Pat McAfee Show,” “Inside the Arena with Serena Williams,” “30 For 30” and “Dana White’s Contender Series.”
In the 2023/24 season, Bayer 04 Leverkusen were crowned league champions after a 5-0 win against Werder Bremen with five matchdays to go. Time will tell if Bayer can win its second title or if rivals VfB Stuttgart or FC Bayern Munich can move up the league and win it all.
Additionally, you can subscribe to the Disney Trio, which includes ESPN+, Hulu, and Disney+, starting at $14.99/month. This package is ideal for those who already have one (or both) of these services but also want to add sports coverage and live sports streaming.
