GolTV renews the rights to air Germany’s premier soccer league, the Bundesliga, to viewers in the U.S. and Canada through 2015. With a global fanbase, the Bundesliga consists of 18 teams, including the legendary clubs FC Bayern Munich, FC Schalke 04, Borussia Dortmund, Werder Bremen and Bayer Leverkusen.

“GolTV has held the exclusive TV rights to the Bundesliga since 2006,” said Enzo Francescoli, Founder & CEO of GolTV. “Year after year, the Bundesliga has delivered some of GolTV’s top ratings, and we expect this trend to continue.”

Many of the world’s most popular soccer stars play in the Bundesliga, including Mario Gomez, Philipp Lahm, Claudio Pizarro, Michael Ballack, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Jefferson Farfan, Maza and Raúl. Throughout the season, clubs compete for the German championship as well as entry into the coveted UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League.

“We selected GolTV because of its large and loyal viewership,” said Joerg Daubitzer, Managing Director of DFL Sports Enterprises, the Bundesliga sales and distribution company. “Our partnership with GolTV ensures that Bundesliga maintains high exposure in these top markets with matches as well as special programming such as Hallo Bundesliga and Goal! The Bundesliga Magazine produced by DFL.”
