The match and broadcast

Germany take on Greece on Sunday in the latest fixture of the international break. The match will be broadcast by a wide range of outlets worldwide, according to Goal.com, which compiled a list covering more than 190 countries and territories. In Germany, the game airs on Das Erste, in Greece on Alpha TV and Nova Sports, in the UK on Amazon Prime Video, and in the US on Fox Sports 2.

Klopp's goalkeeper decision

The build-up to the match has been dominated by head coach Jurgen Klopp's decision to start Alexander Nübel in goal instead of Barcelona loanee Marc-André ter Stegen, who had just returned to the squad and played against the Netherlands in midweek after missing the 2026 World Cup through injury.

Klopp said he was surprised by criticism of ter Stegen's performance against the Netherlands, noting that even the opposing coach had said afterwards the goalkeeper had "saved" his team. "Marc played exceptionally well. It's true he made a few mistakes, but I have absolutely no criticism of him. I'm very, very happy with his performance," Klopp said, adding that Nübel's start against Greece had been an agreed arrangement in advance and that Nübel deserved his chance too.

Klopp added that all three of the squad's goalkeepers had made a sensational impression during this camp.

Upcoming fixtures

According to Barca Blaugranes, Germany are also set to face Serbia and Greece again later in the international break, giving Klopp further opportunities to assess his squad.

Neither source specifies the exact kick-off time of Sunday's match.
