, the games were now also scheduled precisely. Three encounters can be seen on free TV.
Contrary to what you are used to from previous years, the round of 16 will be stretched over two weeks this season. Instead of playing four games in one day, there will only be two in the future – with the result that one game more than usual is also shown on free TV. Only on January 31, the first day of the DFB Cup round of 16, will both matches of the evening be played exclusively sky.
On the three remaining game days are Mainz vs Bayern (ARD), Frankfurt vs Darmstadt (ARD) and Bochum vs BVB (ZDF) on public broadcasters.
