DFB-Pokal on TV 2026-2027 - every fixture, your time zone

The DFB-Pokal is Germany's knockout cup, played over two legs of midweek rounds from August to the Berlin final in May. Bundesliga clubs enter in the first round, drawn away to lower-league sides.

This page lists every 2026-2027 DFB-Pokal fixture with kickoff times converted to your local time and the live TV channel in 30+ countries. DFB-Pokal coverage outside Germany is patchy and varies by round; this guide lists the confirmed channel per tie in each country as broadcasters announce them. Pick the countries you care about in the selector above to compare broadcasters side by side - whether you're at home, following from abroad, or just working out when a match starts on your clock.

The UK Saturday 3pm blackout, explained

During the Saturday afternoon closed period - roughly 2:45pm to 5:15pm UK time - no live football may be broadcast on UK television. The rule dates back to UEFA's Article 48 and is intended to protect attendances across the football pyramid. It applies to overseas leagues shown in the UK as well, which is why this guide lists the channel for each match in every country, not just the UK.

What channel is DFB-Pokal on in the UK?

DFB-Pokal coverage outside Germany is patchy and varies by round; this guide lists the confirmed channel per tie in each country as broadcasters announce them. This guide lists the confirmed channel for each fixture as it's announced, alongside coverage in 30+ other countries.

Why isn't a 3pm Saturday game on TV in the UK?

No live football may be broadcast in the UK during the Saturday afternoon closed period (roughly 2:45-5:15pm UK time) - a rule rooted in UEFA's Article 48, meant to protect match attendances. It applies to overseas leagues shown in the UK too, so a DFB-Pokal match in that window won't be live on UK TV, though it is broadcast in other countries.
