Winners of three straight in the league, Bayern take on Werder on Sunday at Allianz Arena. While the hosts are looking for an emphatic victory to remain hot on the heels of Leverkusen atop the Bundesliga table, Ole Werner’s squad would love to simply grab a point here as they attempt to steer clear of the relegation zone.
The match is just about to start, at 9:30 a.m. ET, and will be broadcast exclusively on ESPN+. It’s not on regular cable TV anywhere, so your options for watching a legal live stream in the U.S. are somewhat limited, but that makes it very simple, too. Here’s everything you need to know to watch Bayern vs Werder.
As just mentioned, ESPN+ is the only place you can watch Bayern vs Werder if you live in the United States. There is no ESPN+ free trial, so watching the match completely free isn’t possible, but ESPN+ costs just $11 per month by itself or $15 for a bundle of ESPN+, Hulu and Disney+. Considering what all comes with it—every Bundesliga match, dozens of live sports, including La Liga, Copa del Rey, FA Cup and other soccer at both the club and international level, every 30-for-30 documentary and other original written and video content—it doesn’t take long for that price to be well worth it.
If you’re an ESPN+ subscriber but you’re out of the country during the time of the match, you can try a virtual private network (VPN), which can mask your location and allow you to stream ESPN+ as if you’re still located in the U.S. There are plenty of options when it comes to the best VPNs, but NordVPN is an elite choice. It’s extremely reliable, doesn’t limit your streaming speeds and comes with a free 30-day money-back guarantee. It’s also currently on sale, as shown in our VPN deals roundup.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
