Fans will also be able to watch all the other Bayer 04 Women's games live in the coming season: The DFB and partner Telekom have made a massive investment in raising the profile of the FLYERALARM Women's Bundesliga and are showing all the matches in the top-flight league for the first time live on Magenta Sport. In addition, as in the past, one game per matchday will be broadcast on Eurosport. ARD also has the right to show an additional live game per matchday as well as highlights. Beyond that, the broadcaster will also provide regular updates on Saturday games on the Sportschau and thereby integrate the FLYERALARM Women's Bundesliga into their programme over the long term.

The German Football Association (DFB) has officially recognised Bayer 04 as a centre for the development of female talent for the 2026/27 season. The club was awarded that role on 1 January 2026, and this status has now been renewed.
