Frauen-Bundesliga
The Bundesliga is set for a sweeping transformation from 2027/28 as the FBL takes charge of marketing and media rights, with playoffs, revamped relegation and special event days all under discussion.
AIVIASPORT is dedicated to women's sport, providing comprehensive coverage of the world's biggest competitions. We follow the leading leagues, tours, and tournaments throughout the season with the latest news, fixtures, results, standings, rankings, transfers, and analysis.
Our football coverage includes competitions such as the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL), Women's Super League (WSL), Liga F, Frauen-Bundesliga, Première Ligue, Serie A Femminile, Toppserien, Kvindeliga, and Damallsvenskan. In tennis, we cover the WTA Tour and all four Grand Slam tournaments, while our golf coverage focuses on the LPGA Tour, the Ladies European Tour (LET), and the sport's major championships.
From domestic leagues to the biggest international events, VIASPORT brings together women's football, tennis, and golf in one dedicated destination.
Germany's premier women's football league is heading for a significant overhaul. From the 2027/28 season, the newly formed league association FBL will assume control of Bundesliga marketing operations and oversee a fresh allocation of media rights - initially covering a two-year cycle.
It marks a pivotal shift in how the league presents itself to fans and broadcasters alike, as Soccerdonna reports.
Behind the scenes, talks are intensifying around competition format, fixed kick-off times, conference-style coverage, relegation structures and - most notably - playoffs. Support is overwhelming: twelve of the fourteen Bundesliga clubs back exploring a playoff model. Only Bayern München and VfL Wolfsburg have pushed back.
Crucially, the playoff concept under discussion would not determine the championship itself. Instead, it would decide qualification for European competition - injecting late-season drama without undermining the league title race.
A streamlined relegation proposal is also gaining traction. Rather than the current format, a single decisive match between the 13th-placed Bundesliga side and the 2. Bundesliga runners-up would settle promotion and relegation - a simpler, higher-stakes affair.
Two further innovations aim to boost visibility. 'Showcase Games' would see selected fixtures staged in larger stadiums, creating bigger atmospheres and wider reach. Meanwhile, 'Rivalry Days' would package regional derbies as marquee occasions, designed to drive attendance and media interest.
