Leverkusen vs FCK live stream: Can you watch for free?

By

Just days after their undefeated season came to an end in the Europa League final, Bayer Leverkusen get a chance for another trophy when they take on FC Kaiserslautern in the 2024 DFB-Pokal final. No matter how this one goes, we’re set to see something we haven’t witnessed in this tournament in a long time. Either Leverkusen raise the trophy for the first time since 1993, or FCK become the first team from Germany’s second division to win the title since Hannover 96 in 1992.

The match is about to start, at 2:00 p.m. ET, and will be televised on ESPNU in the United States. If you don’t have cable and you aren’t a veteran of our guide on how to watch Bundesliga in the U.S., we’ve compiled several different ways you can watch a live stream of Leverkusen vs FCK today.

You can watch a live stream of ESPNU on Fubo, YouTube TV or DirecTV Stream. There are some other live-TV streaming services that include ESPNU, as well, but these are the three that come with a free trial. The Fubo free trial is seven days long, and the other two are each five.

If you go with Fubo, you’ll need either the “Premier” channel package or the “Pro” channel package along with the “Sports Plus” add-on in order to get ESPNU. With YouTube, you just need the “Base Plan,” and with DirecTV Stream, you’ll want to go with the “Choice” channel package or anything above that.

No matter which one you pick, you can sign up, watch the match and then cancel your subscription before you need to pay anything.
