Germany's football governing body faces a pivotal moment on Friday when 256 delegates gather digitally at the DFB Bundestag to vote on spinning off the Women's Bundesliga into an independent structure. The session kicks off at 15:00 and will be broadcast live via DFB-TV and YouTube.
Delegates will scrutinise proposed amendments to the DFB's statutes and the foundational contract with the FBL. Should the vote pass, the new framework takes effect on 1 July 2027.
The deal comes after a rocky period between the DFB and FBL over who holds decision-making power. Plans for a joint venture were scrapped before the FBL ultimately broke away in December 2025. Now the league body intends to create a GmbH subsidiary responsible for match organisation, marketing, and long-term strategy. An external consultancy is already on the hunt for a managing director to lead the new entity.
Once the Bundestag concludes, attention will quickly shift to awarding media rights for the next two seasons as existing broadcast deals near expiry. Talks are also under way over a potential playoff model and a revamped match-day schedule - moves that could reshape the league's commercial appeal.
