DFB Extends 3. Liga Broadcast Rights with Telekom to 2031

Deutsche Telekom secures exclusive broadcast rights for Germany's 3. Liga from 2027/28 to 2031, including all 380 matches and relegation playoffs. The deal, worth €124 million over four years, represents a 20% revenue increase for the DFB. Telekom retains free-TV rights for 38 matches per season, with a decision pending on whether to sublicense them to ARD. The agreement also expands digital and social media usage rights for highlights. ARD secured a separate highlights package, while DAZN will cover all matches with clips. New partners 'Kicker' and 'Leagues' acquired digital short-form and clip rights. The extension coincides with MagentaSport's tenth year covering the league, during which TV reach has grown sevenfold, though not independently verified.
