About
ZDF Sport Extra History, Coverage, Features
The Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen, or ZDF, is a German television channel based in the city of Mainz. It was launched on April 1, 1963 as a replacement of the defunct ARD 2 channel. It is run as a non-profit institution and gets its funding via television license fees and advertising revenues. It began broadcasting 24 hours a day on October 5, 1996.
ZDF Sport Extra is an alternate feed that has been used to cover and broadcast live sports over the years. The channel has alternated coverage of top sports events with ARD due to the public access status of both networks.
Over the years, ZDF Sport Extra has covered events such as the UEFA European Championship, the FIFA World Cup, the Summer Olympics, and the Winter Olympics. While some of those competitions have been covered in their entirety, others such as the FIFA World Cup or the UEFA Euro have been partially covered by the network. The best example of that is the 2018 FIFA World Cup, where ARD and ZDF shared coverage of 48 games, when the total amount of matches reaches 64.
ZDF, along with ARD, has also covered friendly and competitive matches featuring the German National Football Team for both men and women. The channel has also covered athletics competitions with a special focus on German athletes.
ZDF Sport Extra’s coverage has also included the German Bundesliga, with highlights and occasional live games being broadcast by the channel.
