Watching the Bundesliga, La Liga and Serie A

Broadcast and kick-off times across the European leagues

The hard part about following the Bundesliga, La Liga and Serie A together is not the broadcast, it is the calendar: three leagues run on three different clocks and the fixtures overlap.

Weekend times for the three leagues

LeagueSaturday (TRT)Sunday (TRT)Note
Bundesliga17.30 and 20.3017.30 and 19.30Friday opener as well
La Liga16.00 to 00.0016.00 to 00.00Late kick-offs are common
Serie A16.00, 19.00, 21.45From 13.30Sunday lunchtime slot

Handling the overlap

At 17.30 on Saturday the Bundesliga and the early La Liga match run together. If you follow all three leagues there are two options: a second screen, or catch-up. The second is calmer — watching a finished match beats splitting your attention across two live ones.

Setting up the channels

  1. 01One favourites list per leagueGerman, Spanish and Italian channels sit in different parts of the list. A separate favourites list for each league ends the searching all weekend.
  2. 02Choose the commentaryThe same match can arrive both in the host country's language and with Turkish commentary. Add whichever you prefer to favourites.
  3. 03Refresh the guideEPG data updates once a day. Keep the player's guide refresh setting on so the weekend schedule is there when you need it.

The table above uses summer time. Turkey does not change its clocks but Europe does: between November and March every kick-off shifts an hour later in Turkish time.
