FC Schalke 04 – Jahn Regensburg: No TV broadcast – great mourning in the arena

Disappointment at Schalke: The second division game between FC Schalke 04 and SSV Jahn Regensburg on Saturday at 1:00 p.m. will not be broadcast on free TV.

No live pictures from the Schalke game

The reason for this is the broadcasting rights for the 2nd Bundesliga, which are held by the streaming service DAZN. The game will be broadcast exclusively on DAZN, so fans who want to watch the game live will need a subscription to the streaming service.

For many Schalke fans, this is a big disappointment. The club had already announced in advance that the game would not be broadcast on free TV, but many fans had still hoped that a broadcaster would show the game at short notice.

The disappointment is particularly great because the game against Regensburg is an important one for Schalke. The Royal Blues are still unbeaten at home this season and want to continue their winning streak against Regensburg.

However, the fans will have to do without live pictures of the game. The game will only be available on DAZN, which costs €29.99 per month.

Big mourning in the arena

The lack of a TV broadcast has caused great mourning in the Schalke arena. Many fans had already bought tickets for the game and are now disappointed that they will not be able to watch it live.

The club has also expressed its regret about the lack of a TV broadcast. "We understand that many fans are disappointed that the game will not be broadcast on free TV," said Schalke sporting director Rouven Schröder.

"However, we have no influence on the broadcasting rights. We hope that the fans will still come to the stadium and support the team," said Schröder.

It remains to be seen how many fans will actually come to the stadium on Saturday. It is to be feared that many fans will stay away because of the lack of a TV broadcast.
