By GlobalData“Starting next season, we will broadcast all games live – initially on YouTube, then on our platform. With this, we want to increase the visibility of women's basketball in Germany and continuously develop it.”
Anton Hefele, Managing Director of DBBL, added: “With this strong partner at our side, we have the opportunity to grow together and raise awareness of women's basketball on a major platform. This is a true milestone for the DBBL, as it will give our games even greater visibility, reach a broader audience, and offer fans a high-quality, emotional basketball experience.”
Dyn’s basketball portfolio also includes the German men’s Basketball Bundesliga and BBL Cup, and the Basketball Champions League.
The OTT service also provides coverage of basketball from the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) through a deal with ESPN. This season, Dyn will also broadcast all German team games in the FIBA Europe Cup live and exclusively.
Dyn recently received a fresh injection of capital after bringing in the DFL German soccer body and retail company Schwarz Group as strategic investors.
The streamer, owned by former DFL managing director Christian Seifert, is looking to boost its domestic and international growth by developing new business areas and enhancing its media technology offering.
The move sees the number of stakeholders in the company rise to four, with Schwarz Group, parent company to supermarket chains Lidl and Kaufland, acquiring a 42.5% stake in Dyn Media, while the DFL will hold around 6.5%.
