Fussball.TV
The German word for football, on the world's video extension. A single, exact-match domain for the most-watched sport on the largest video-coded TLD — held privately, offered once.
The category, in numbers.
Football is the largest media category on earth, and German is the third-largest market in club football revenue. The figures below are not promotional; they are public. They describe the addressable demand a brand on this domain inherits on day one.
All figures are publicly reported by the named sources. They are illustrative of category demand only and do not constitute a forecast for any specific business.
There is exactly one Fussball.TV.
Single-word, exact-match category domains on .TV cannot be replicated. They are issued once by a sovereign registry, and the supply is finite. Fußball is the only word that means football to ~95 million native speakers — and there is no second copy to acquire if this one is taken.
- One word. The exact German term, on the global video extension.
- Direct type-in equity in DACH-region browsers and address bars.
- Defensible across UEFA cycles, World Cup cycles, and domestic Bundesliga rights renewals.
- Not a brand to be built — a position to be occupied.
What single-word .TV names trade for.
Reported sales of exact-match, single-word .TV domains. Pricing is set by category demand and scarcity, not size of registrant. Fussball.TV is offered by private negotiation; no figure is published.
What gets built here.
A single-word domain with this much category gravity supports several distinct businesses. Three of the most defensible directions:
A pure-play football video destination.
Live windows, highlights, archive, and creator collaborations targeted at the German-speaking world and the global Bundesliga, Bundesliga 2, DFB-Pokal, and national-team audience. Models from football-specific OTT to creator-led broadcast deals.
An on-air or sub-brand for an existing rights-holder.
A clean, language-native consumer face for any broadcaster, league, or rights-holder operating in DACH or globally — from a streaming app brand to a second-screen companion to a tournament microsite for World Cup 2026 and beyond.
A football publishing or data product, in German.
News, scores, fantasy, betting media, transfers, tactics. The exact-match domain compounds organic discovery in the only language where Fußball is the natural search term — and where it is searched many millions of times each month.
Who this domain belongs to.
A non-exhaustive list of the operator profiles for whom this address is asymmetric.
Rights-holders & leagues
Any organisation that owns or licenses football rights for the German-speaking market or a global German-language audience. The address pre-sells the product.
Broadcasters & streamers
Pay-TV, FAST, and OTT operators looking for a memorable, language-native consumer brand or a second-screen / app sub-brand that earns word-of-mouth on its own.
Sportsbooks & fantasy
Regulated betting and fantasy operators in DE, AT, CH and adjacent EU markets — for whom direct type-in and trust signals at the domain level are competitive moats.
Football publishers & agencies
Publishers, content houses, creator networks, and agencies building German-language football media with an organic-search and direct-traffic strategy.
Three pieces, on the record.

Why a domain that says "Fußball" matters more than one that says "soccer".

The cost of doing nothing.
"Once a category-defining single-word domain trades, it does not return to market for a generation. The buyer who waits is not waiting on the same asset — they are waiting on a different asset, owned by a competitor."
Questions answered before they are asked.
Is the domain actually for sale?
Why "ss" and not the German letter "ß"?
How is the price determined?
How is the transfer secured?
Can the owner finance the purchase over multiple payments?
Will the seller sign an NDA?

One word.
One extension.
One owner.
When this domain trades, it leaves the market. The next opportunity is not the same opportunity.
