The streaming service DAZN broadcasts Bundesliga games in a conference for the first time on Matchday 26. Like the Internet channel, the media magazine DWDL.de confirmed, on March 13th there will be a switch between the simultaneous games between Borussia Dortmund and Arminia Bielefeld and between Eintracht Frankfurt and VfL Bochum (both 5.30 p.m.). The background is the constraints of the DFL schedule makers, who had to schedule four games on a Sunday for the first time.

Because: With BVB, Eintracht, Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig, four Bundesliga clubs are currently represented in the Europa League. The competition plays its games on Thursday evenings. In order to ensure sufficient time for regeneration, the national league operations for the participants usually only continue on the following Sunday. In addition to Dortmund and Frankfurt, Leverkusen and Leipzig will also be in action on March 13th. Since no teams from this quartet duel directly, this results in the concentrated game schedule on the last day of the week.

Bayer welcomes 1. FC Köln to the Rheinderby on March 13 (3:30 p.m.). Leipzig has to go to SpVgg Greuther Fürth (7.30 p.m.). Both encounters broadcast DAZN as a single game. Curious: It is still open whether there are really four German teams in the round of 16 first legs of the Europa League planned for March 10th. Frankfurt and Leverkusen have their tickets secured – but BVB and Leipzig still have to survive the playoff round on Thursday to qualify.
