Television: As part of an unprecedented cooperation, free-to-air and subscription TV channels will show the derby in parallel. While the 90 minutes will be identical, both TV providers will be offering separate pre-match build-up and post-match coverage. The former BVB and S04 player Christoph Metzelder, who works as a pundit for Sky, will also be working for ARD for this match. Steffen Simon (pictured) will be the commentator for both broadcasters.

The pay-TV channel Sky will be broadcasting from 14:00 CET. Britta Hofmann will be the presenter. Wolff Fuss will be the man behind the mic in the simulcast, with Marcus Lindemann conducting interviews. For ARD, Alexander Bommes will present the programme.

Highlights can be watched on free-to-air TV at 18:30 CET in the ARD-Sportschau programme and at 23:00 CET in ZDF's Aktuelle Sportstudio.
