Bayern vs Werder live stream: Can you watch the game for free?

Add as a preferred source on Google

Winners of three straight in the league, Bayern take on Werder on Sunday at Allianz Arena. While the hosts are looking for an emphatic victory to remain hot on the heels of Leverkusen atop the Bundesliga table, Ole Werner’s squad would love to simply grab a point here as they attempt to steer clear of the relegation zone.

The match is just about to start, at 9:30 a.m. ET, and will be broadcast exclusively on ESPN+. It’s not on regular cable TV anywhere, so your options for watching a legal live stream in the U.S. are somewhat limited, but that makes it very simple, too. Here’s everything you need to know to watch Bayern vs Werder.

As just mentioned, ESPN+ is the only place you can watch Bayern vs Werder if you live in the United States. There is no ESPN+ free trial, so watching the match completely free isn’t possible, but ESPN+ costs just $11 per month by itself or $15 for a bundle of ESPN+, Hulu and Disney+. Considering what all comes with it—every Bundesliga match, dozens of live sports, including La Liga, Copa del Rey, FA Cup and other soccer at both the club and international level, every 30-for-30 documentary and other original written and video content—it doesn’t take long for that price to be well worth it.

Spotify is rolling out a new AI-powered conversational feature that lets Premium users talk directly to the app about what they want to hear. Users can type or speak a request and refine the results through follow-up questions instead of manually searching for a song, podcast, or audiobook.

The feature is available from Spotify’s Home and Now Playing screens and works much like a personal audio assistant. It can choose what plays, answer questions about the current track or album, recommend something new, and look through your listening history to provide more personalized responses.

Christopher Nolan’s personal take on smartphones is surprisingly practical
Christopher Nolan says not owning a smartphone helps him think better

Christopher Nolan has spent his career embracing cutting-edge filmmaking technology while resisting one of the most common gadgets on the planet: the smartphone. The Oscar-winning director behind Oppenheimer, Inception, and the upcoming The Odyssey says his decision isn't about rejecting technology altogether. It's about protecting something he believes has become increasingly rare - time to think.

In an interview with The Telegraph ahead of the premiere of The Odyssey, Nolan explained that he still doesn't own a smartphone, despite living in a world where QR codes, digital tickets, and messaging apps have become everyday necessities. His reasoning, however, is far more practical than philosophical.
