By GlobalDataThe broadcast of the Turkish Cup in Germany is noteworthy as Turkish soccer has hardly been covered by German broadcasters recently, despite a large Turkish community in the country.
Several broadcasters have made attempts to address this recently. RTL has frequently included the major Turkish clubs in its selection of UEFA Europa League matches. Streaming giant DAZN has recently provided Turkish commentary for some Turkish club (or national team) games, while Sport1 aired some qualifying matches on free-to-air television.
However, the Turkish Super Lig still lacks a home on German television.
Ethnic Turks currently form one of the largest minority ethnic groups in Germany.
Sportdigital also recently extended its deal to show Spain's Supercopa competition for another three seasons.
