The second round of the DFB Cup takes place on Tuesday and Wednesday. In addition to the pay channel Sky, both ARD and ZDF will each broadcast a duel live and in full length.
The DFB Cup starts its second round on Tuesday (October 31) and Wednesday (November 1). A total of 16 games are on the schedule. Because relatively few lower-class teams were able to qualify for this round this year, fans are already expecting top-class games.
Eight games will be played on both match days – four each at 6 p.m. and 8:45 p.m. As in previous years, the pay TV channel “Sky” will broadcast all games live. In addition, there will be a game on free TV on both Tuesday and Wednesday.
