Bayern Munich host Borussia Dortmund at the Allianz Arena on Saturday, 31 October 2026, in Bundesliga Gameweek 8, with Der Klassiker kicking off at 5.30pm GMT. UK supporters can watch on Sky Sports Football or stream through Sky Go and NOW, with coverage beginning shortly before kick-off.
How to Watch Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund Live Stream in the UK
Sky Sports Football is showing Bayern Munich against Borussia Dortmund live in the UK from 5.20pm GMT. Kick-off follows at 5.30pm, with Sky Go and NOW offering online viewing for customers with qualifying sports packages.
Some online bookmakers may add live streaming for eligible active customers closer to kick-off, so check your provider before the match begins. This option is strictly 18+. Geo-location restrictions and live-streaming terms apply.
Sky customers can watch through their television package or use Sky Go with an eligible account. NOW offers another route through its Sports Membership, without needing a traditional Sky TV subscription.
Saturday’s 5.20pm programme start leaves ten minutes for the pre-match build-up. That is separate from the scheduled 5.30pm kick-off.
TV Info: What Channel Is Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund On?
Sky Sports Football is the dedicated UK television channel for Der Klassiker. The fixture appears in Saturday’s Sky Sports schedule alongside Tottenham Hotspur against Crystal Palace, which is being shown on Sky Sports Premier League and Main Event.
If your package includes Sky Sports Football, select that channel for the Bayern-Dortmund match. Sky Sports+ also appears in some listings, but Sky Sports Football is the clearest dedicated channel.
The German broadcast is different: Sky Sport Bundesliga carries the match locally, while WOW offers streaming in Germany. Those are not substitutes for a UK Sky or NOW subscription.
Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund Streaming Apps and Device Guide
Use Sky Go if you already subscribe to the relevant Sky Sports package. Open the app on a supported device, sign in and select Sky Sports Football from the live channels.
With NOW, choose the same channel from the sports section using an active Sports Membership. Its app and web player let subscribers watch on supported phones, tablets and computers.
For smart-TV viewing, check whether your television or connected-TV device supports the service you use. If you’re watching through a normal Sky box, selecting the channel directly is simpler.
Can You Cast Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund to a TV?
If your streaming app supports AirPlay or Chromecast on your chosen device, open the live match and select your television from the casting controls.
Both devices should use the same Wi-Fi network. Casting features can differ between Sky Go and NOW, so a compatible TV app or Sky box may be the more practical option.
Watching Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund While Travelling
In Germany, the game kicks off at 6.30pm CET, with Sky Sport Bundesliga and WOW carrying the local broadcast.
German viewers also have a separate animated presentation, Sky Sport Spezial – Next Level, running alongside the main match feed. If you’re elsewhere, check which broadcaster shows Bundesliga football where you are; UK subscriptions are not automatically valid overseas.
Live Audio, Highlights and Match Replay
Sky Sports will publish match highlights through its sports app, social channels and YouTube. Short clips offer a way to revisit the main incidents after the final whistle.
Borussia Dortmund’s club service, BVB-TV, also plans a highlights reel and post-match reaction. Full-match replays are separate from highlights, and a specific UK replay release time has not been established for this fixture.
If you’re planning to watch after the match, check the catch-up section of your Sky or NOW service rather than assuming the entire live programme will remain available.
