Germany’s primary football league Bundesliga kicks off its 62nd season of play. The 2024-25 season runs from Friday, Aug. 23 through Saturday, May 17, 2025.
To start the new season, Borussia Mönchengladbach takes on league champions Bayer 04 Leverkusen at Borussia-Park in Mönchengladbach, Germany starting at 2:30 p.m. ET/11:30 a.m. PT.
If you’d like to livestream the 2024-25 Bundesliga season online, you can sign up for a subscription with ESPN+ for $10.99/month. However, if you don’t want to go month-to-month, then you can sign up for an annual subscription for $109.99/year, which is a 15% savings from the monthly price.
ESPN+ subscribers can access to live sports from UFC, Top Rank Boxing, NFL, MLB, NHL and F1, as well as watch hit originals, like “The Pat McAfee Show,” “Inside the Arena with Serena Williams,” “30 For 30” and “Dana White’s Contender Series.”
In 2023-24 season, Bayer 04 Leverkusen was crowned league champions after defeating Werder Bremen with a score of 5-0 with five matches to spare. Time will tell if Bayer can get their second title, or if contenders VfB Stuttgart or FC Bayern Munich will rise in the ranks in the league to win it all.
In addition, starting at $14.99/month, you can go with a subscription to the Disney Trio, which includes ESPN+, Hulu and Disney+. This bundle is ideal for those who already have one (or both) of these services, but would also like to add sports coverage and live sports streaming.
Disney+ is the home to hits, including “Ahsoka,” “Loki,” “American Born Chinese” and “Percy Jackson and the Olympians,” while you can find originals, such as “Futurama,” “At Witt’s End: The Hunt for a Killer,” “Dance Moms: A New Era” and “UnPrisoned” on Hulu.
