Watch live Bundesliga games on Friday nights on the BBC

Top-flight German football is being shown live on the BBC this season after rights were secured to broadcast Friday night Bundesliga matches through to 2027.

The coverage will continue on Friday, 17 October when strugglers Borussia Monchengladbach seek their first win of the season as they travel to Union Berlin.

All matches will be available to watch live on the BBC Sport website, app and on BBC iPlayer every Friday, with clips of the biggest in-game moments across BBC Sport's social media channels.

Who plays next

Borussia Monchengladbach are yet to win in the Bundesliga this season

Union Berlin have had a mixed start to the season, with seven points from their opening six matches. However, in those six they have faced giants Borussia Dortmund, Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayer Leverkusen all away from home.

They have only managed to win one of their home matches so far this season, a 2-1 win over Stuttgart in the first match of the campaign.

Borussia Monchengladbach are yet to win in the Bundesliga this term, and are on a club record 13-match winless streak. Their last win in the Bundesliga was in March, a 1-0 win over RB Leipzig.

Gladbach's start to the season has not just been bad on the pitch. Manager Gerardo Seoane was sacked just three games after the start of the season and sporting director Roland Virkus stepped down after five matches.

Union Berlin have a better record going into this fixture, having won six of the 12 times these two sides have met in the Bundesliga. However, Gladbach beat their opponents both home and away last season.
