Yes, the Bundesliga is free in the US in 2026-27: every English-language match that is not on USA Network streams free on Fandango. USA Network shows at least 30 matches a season, so a free Fandango account covers most of the 306-game season. Seeing every game also needs USA Network.
How does Bundesliga on Fandango work?
Versant's USA Sports became the exclusive English-language home of the Bundesliga from 2026-27 under a deal running through 2030-31. It puts at least 30 matches a season on USA Network and streams all the others free on Fandango, through its relaunched Fandango Stream service. That's the same Fandango that sells movie tickets.
Which games are free and which aren't?
| Coverage | Where | Cost |

Do I need USA Network?
Only if you need every game. The biggest fixtures tend to be picked for TV, so Bayern or Dortmund fans will hit more USA Network games. Check your club's page for upcoming fixtures. USA Network picks are marked "TBC" until they're confirmed.
Can I watch the Bundesliga in Spanish?
Yes. Telemundo holds the Spanish-language rights, showing more than 100 matches on Telemundo and Universo and every match on Peacock.
