Why does Mark Goldbridge have Bundesliga rights?
Briefly

Mark Goldbridge (Brent Di Cesare) has been granted rights to show 20 live Friday-night Bundesliga matches during the 2025-26 season on his That's Football channel. That's Football aims to replicate the live-reaction experience familiar to Goldbridge's viewers while providing the added benefit of live match coverage. The United Stand has over 2.1 million subscribers and That's Football has over 1.3 million subscribers. Bundesliga International is combining traditional broadcasters with digital platforms and content creators to broaden reach across the UK and Ireland. The BBC will stream one live Bundesliga match each Friday on its digital platforms until 2027, and several fixtures have been confirmed.
"YouTuber Mark Goldbridge has been selected to show live Bundesliga matches for the 2025-26 season in a bid to "connect with more audiences". Goldbridge, 46, whose real name is Brent Di Cesare, was named among the rights holders of Germany's top-flight for 20 live Friday night matches for the 2025-26 season. Goldbridge's Manchester United-dedicated YouTube channel, The United Stand, has more than 2.1 million subscribers, and involves viewers watching Goldbridge's live reactions to Manchester United games."
"Our approach is as diverse as our supporters," said Peer Naubert, chief executive officer of Bundesliga International. "By combining established broadcasters with digital platforms and content creators, we are taking a progressive step in how top-level football can be experienced. "This multi-layered strategy allows us to connect with more audiences across the UK and Ireland, giving every supporter the chance to engage with football as it's meant to be in the way that suits them best."
