- All the games or at least highlights you can see frequently in the respective club TV channels, but only after the final whistle. Often these portals are also subject to a fee.
- In other sports, such as Tennis or Golf, the situation is similar: Individual events can also be watched on free-to-air channels. A full range there is in Germany, but only in the Sky.
