Rights packages can be acquired either individually or together as a bundle. The respective packages include licence rights to both physical and digital products.

According to the provisional schedule, Bundesliga International GmbH will send out the procedure letter by mid-March, which contains information such as the remainder of the schedule and the rules for the conduct of the tendering procedure, to interested companies that have registered properly and within the specified time. Furthermore, the intention is to make the tender documents containing the exact scope and contents of the rights packages available to the companies that meet the requirements of the procedure letter from the end of March.
