The Bundesliga Index - The Cheapest Country To Watch The Bundesliga

The Bundesliga Price Index is a price comparison tool that tells you how much Bundesliga fans pay to watch matches in various countries worldwide. We hand-picked 20 nations spread across 6 continents and listed the cheapest price in each place to access as many Bundesliga games of the 2025/26 season as possible, as well as where to watch those matches. Many of the countries on this list have a lasting football heritage based on the size of their domestic leagues, performances of their national teams in international tournaments, and co-efficient rankings. Other countries may have a low level of notoriety in the game but are very relevant to the sport right now. Then there are growing football markets with huge potential. This index is regularly updated to reflect economic changes, broadcasting rights changes, latest offers and other factors. However, if you feel there is anything we need to include with this data, please feel free to contact us with any tips or deals you are aware of. If you know of a way to watch the Bundesliga at a lower price where you are, drop us a line and tell us. We would be very happy to update the Bundesliga Price Index if any of this information is wrong or should change, and we would value your help in making those changes.

We have done our utmost to make this study as accurate as possible, but we aren't perfect. If you feel anything is amiss with this data, please get in touch and let us know. We would be happy to make changes. We plan to update the index all the time. Use the contact info here to reach out to us with your suggestions.

It is important to bear in mind that this is not a definitive list of all the countries in the world which air coverage of the Bundesliga, nor is it a list of the 40 cheapest or more expensive countries to watch the Bundesliga, and that there are likely countries in the world where one could pay less or more to watch the Bundesliga than those listed here. It is a list of 20 noteworthy football-loving nations and the prices their citizens must pay to watch the Bundesliga. It takes into account the cheapest possible TV or live streaming options in each country which a fan can use to watch as many Bundesliga games as possible during the 2025/26 season. We are always looking to add more countries to the list, so if your country isn't on here, feel free to reach out and let us know the situation where you are.

This list provides the annual cost of gaining access to as many Bundesliga matches as possible in a given market. In some cases, it isn't possible to access every single Bundesliga match of the season. However, in the majority of countries, fans can pay to gain access to every game of the season and choose which ones they want to enjoy each game week.

The prices displayed in the index also represent the absolute cheapest possible approach to getting the most games. The providers listed may not be the only way to watch the Bundesliga in those countries, but those providers, or combination of provbiders, represent the cheapest way to watch the most games. In the case of some rights holders, a monthly subscription to a single live-streaming platform is the cheapest way. In others, a fan must pay for multiple broadcasters to cover all of the different matches available. Fans living in countries where the rights space is dominated by big pay-TV broadcasters like Sky and beIN SPORTS tend to get a rough deal, while those fortunate enough to live in places where the rights are owned by disruptors and streamers and other monthly subscription, OTT platforms usually enjoy much more competitive prices.

Some broadcasters, which hold exclusive rights to the Bundesliga, require the consumer to sign a 12-month or 24-month contract to sign up, while others - especially streamers - can often be cancelled anytime, meaning a fan only needs to pay for the 10-month Bundesliga season and then cancel their membership during the summer off-season to save money. However, it sometimes works out cheaper to sign a one-year contract than pay monthly for 10 months and cancel.

Some of the prices listed here are astronomically lower than others. It is important to take into account the average salary of people living in those places, and the availability of internet access and TV subscriptions. This index is purely designed to lay out the differences in price for comparison purposes. It does not suggest that watching Bundesliga football is necessarily easier from country to country. Most of the cheapest options are live streaming platforms, and cannot be accessed by everyone. That would depend on the individual circumstances of the fan.

After determining the absolute cheapest path to take, involving the fewest subscriptions possible, to gain access to the maximum number of games possible in all 20 countries, our team did the calculations to come up with a per-season figure for watching the Bundesliga in each place.

Here's what we found:

It will come as little surprise to know that Germany is the most expensive country in the world to follow the Bundesliga season. As it is the domestic league, of course the German people are more keen to watch than any other fans, and with higher demand comes higher prices. It costs German fans double what it does the second most expensive country, Sweden.

Unlike in the case of the Premier League, the price between the most expensive country (Germany) and everywhere else is particularly drastic. Fans in the second and third most expensive countries, Sweden and the UK, are paying almost half the price as those in Germany. This is undoubtedly due to the difference in global popularity between the two leagues. The Premier League is arguably as important to fans around the world as it is to those in the UK, while the Bundesliga takes on a lot less importance for people living outside of Germany.

Beneath Sweden and the UK on the list are some predictable names. European countries with huge football-loving populations and high incomes are of course paying more to watch the Bundesliga, with Italy, the Netherlands, France and Portugal near the top of the table.

Wedged between them, somewhat surprisingly, is Mexico. This is likely just an unfortunate knock-on effect of pay-TV legacy giant Sky holding the Bundesliga rights in Mexico. Fans are likely subscribing to the service to follow their beloved Liga MX, with Bundesliga rights being a happy add-on.

Wealthy nations like the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are all getting good deals, paying at least 75% less than the Germans, and more in some cases, to subscribe to live streaming services owned by big media goliaths, and being charged very reasonable rates.

Argentina, Turkey and Morocco are predictably near the bottom of this list as they are more developing countries economically. Meanwhile, India is the cheapest country on our list for watching Bundesliga games, with an annual cost of just over £5 GBP.
