The first test game of the new season against Olympique Lyon shows FC Bayern exclusively through its own stream. But there are problems.
Frustration among fans of FC Bayern: Because some followers missed parts of the first half of the test game against Olympique Lyon. The game was broadcast exclusively via FC Bayern TV, the in -house broadcaster. Around ten minutes before the kick -off, it was not possible to log in to a new subscription. Even during the game, there were problems until the middle of the first half before the breakdown was completely fixed. The reason for this was apparently an overloaded server.
On the net, several supporters came up with their say, who asked for help or frustration under the Bavarian posts on the social media profiles.
After all: With a statement in the middle of the first half, Bayern kept their fans up to date, informed about progress in the elimination of difficulties. “Due to technical problems, there are currently delays in the login on FC Bayern TV Plus,” wrote the German record champions at 4:09 p.m. at X. “We are working on a solution. We ask the inconvenience to excuse.” Shortly afterwards, the registration for the livestream then worked again.
Transparency note: In an earlier version of the article we wrote that the stream would not have worked. That was incorrect. The login was the problem that triggered the trouble among the fans concerned.
