Google Pixel Women's Bundesliga will be free to access on International Women's Day

The German Women’s Bundesliga, also known as the Frauen-Bundesliga, is the highest tier of women’s football in Germany. Since the beginning of the 2023/24 season, Google Pixel has been the league’s official naming rights partner. This partnership signifies Google Pixel’s commitment to supporting and increasing the visibility of women’s football.

As part of this collaboration, Google Pixel, along with the German Football Association (DFB) and broadcasters, have taken a unique initiative to celebrate International Women’s Day, which falls on March 8, 2024. They have declared this day a ‘game day for everyone,’ offering free access to all matches of the 15th matchday of the Google Pixel Women’s Bundesliga.

This initiative aims to encourage football fans across the country to tune in and experience the excitement of the Frauen-Bundesliga. Regardless of their preferred platform, viewers can enjoy the matches live and free of charge on various channels and streaming services. These include:

• DAZN: A popular online sports streaming platform.
• HR: Hessian Radio, a public radio broadcaster in the state of Hesse, Germany.
• MagentaSport: A sports streaming service offered by Deutsche Telekom.
• SPORT1: A private German sports television channel.
• sportschau.de: The online sports section of ARD, a public service broadcaster in Germany.

The marquee fixtures of this special matchday include the Ruhrpott derby between SGS Essen and MSV Duisburg, the top-of-the-table clash between Eintracht Frankfurt and FC Bayern Munich, and the exciting encounters between 1. FC Köln and SV Werder Bremen, and VfL Wolfsburg and RB Leipzig.

This free access initiative presents an excellent opportunity for new viewers to discover the Frauen-Bundesliga’s talented players. By showcasing these matches to a wider audience, Google Pixel and the DFB hope to further amplify the league’s profile and inspire more fans to engage with women’s football in Germany. Even though I have yet to see a game in this league, this appears to be an interesting moment to do so.
