How to watch Bayer Leverkusen on US TV

We’ve got all the details on how to watch Bayer Leverkusen in the USA – on television and streaming.

Die Werkself

Founded in 1904 by workers at the Bayer pharmaceutical company, Bayer Leverkusen is one of the many “works teams” in European soccer. This benign working-class origin is why both UEFA and the Bundesliga allow the club to use the Bayer name and logo in their team crest (while teams such as RB Leipzig, named purely for corporate sponsor reasons, are not). Leverkusen have never won the Bundesliga but were runners-up five times between 1997-2011. Their lone pieces of significant silverware to date are the 1988 UEFA Cup and the 1993 DFB-Pokal.
