Since 2008, Sportschau begins at 18:00. As there is a contractual agreement that the Bundesliga may only be shown from 18:30, the program reports about the second and third leagues in the first half-hour.
Since January 2011, the Sportschau-App is available for Apple and Android devices.[citation needed]
