TV Info: What Channel Is Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig On?
Sky Sports Football and Sky Sports Football HD are carrying Saturday’s match, with the programme scheduled to begin at 5.20pm. Bundesliga coverage is included in the relevant Sky Sports packages.
Supporters without Sky television can watch the same channel through NOW with a suitable Sports membership. Sky Sports+ also appears in some UK football schedules, but Sky Sports Football is the named main channel for this fixture.

Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig Streaming Apps and Device Guide
Use Sky Go if you already subscribe to Sky Sports through an eligible Sky television package. Open the Sky Sports Football channel on your phone, tablet or computer.
NOW offers another route without a traditional Sky television subscription. Its app works on supported phones, computers and smart TVs, with access to Sky Sports Football through the appropriate membership.
Check your membership before Saturday evening. If you are using NOW, select the live Sky Sports Football channel rather than searching only for a separate Bayern match tile.
Can You Cast Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig to a TV?
If your streaming app and television support AirPlay or Chromecast, open the Sky Sports Football stream and use the app’s casting control. Both devices may need to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Casting options differ between Sky Go and NOW, and support varies by device. A compatible NOW television app or Sky box is often the simpler way to watch the match on your main screen.
Watching Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig While Travelling
If you’re abroad, check which broadcaster shows the Bundesliga where you are. A UK Sky Sports or NOW account does not automatically carry the same matches in every country.
In Germany, Sky is showing the match. Viewers travelling elsewhere should check local listings before buying access, particularly if they intend to watch on a phone during the journey.
