According to a report by The Athletic\u2019s German football correspondent Seb Stafford-Bloor, former Leicester City and England striker Jamie Vardy is now a live rights holder for the Bundesliga and he will start with Bayern Munich vs. Stuttgart later tonight:<\/p>\n
Vardy joins That\u2019s Football, hosted by Mark Goldbridge from The United Stand, in broadcasting the Bundesliga in a predominantly Premier League heavy landscape. Like the deal with That\u2019s Football, this is another step in the Bundesliga\u2019s marketing strategy by allowing two well-known figures in English football (on and off the pitch) to open the eyes of the British and Irish to Germany\u2019s topflight.<\/p>\n
Kevin Hatchard, one of the Bundesliga\u2019s English feed commentators, had this to say about Vardy hosting live watchalongs of matches:<\/p>\n
Since leaving Cremonese upon the expiry of his contract earlier this year, the 39-year-old striker launched his podcast called \u201cJamie Vardy\u2019s Having A Party\u201d. Vardy will stream Bayern\u2019s league opener against Stuttgart along with former Leicester teammate Christian Fuchs.
