Ard, zdf and rtl secure broadcasting rights for germany's nations league matches in 2026/27

Germany's national football team will face a stern test in the upcoming 2026/27 Nations League season, with matches set to be broadcast by ARD, ZDF and RTL.

Television rights confirmed for germany's nations league campaign

The confirmed broadcasting schedule sees ARD and ZDF share the rights for three home games each, while RTL will televise Germany's three away fixtures. The arrangement mirrors the 2024/25 Nations League, when the public broadcasters and private network similarly split the coverage.

Germany's Group 2 fixtures in the top-tier League A will pit them against Greece, Serbia and the Netherlands. The campaign kicks off on September 24, with a trip to the Netherlands that will be aired live on RTL. The following month, Germany host Greece on September 27, a match that will be broadcast by ARD. The final home fixture against Serbia on October 1 will be shown on ZDF.
