The 2020-21 German soccer season is about to begin. After winning the Bundesliga, Pokal, and Champions League last year, will Bayern Munich win the treble again? Losing Thiago and acquiring winger Leroy Sané may be enough, but losing David Alaba (who is still in contract negotiations) will probably hurt Bayern a great deal.

It will be interesting to see what Hans Flick can do in a full season after taking over as coach mid-season (albeit early) last year. It will also be interesting to see if Robert Lewandowski can win last season's Ballon d'Or, which was cancelled due to the coronavirus.

Borussia Dortmund, a team heavy on youngsters such as Jadon Sancho, Giovanni Reina, and Eric Harland (who could be the next Ronaldo), is expected to finish second this year.

Under normal circumstances, RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen would be the favorites. Unfortunately, Leipzig lost Timo Werner and Bayer Leverkusen lost Kai Havelz.

But we are not talking about the Bundesliga just to assume that Bayern Munich is unbeatable. We watch Bundesliga live streams to see if they really are. Here's how to check out this season online.

FOX Sports held the broadcast rights from 2015-20, but no longer does, so Americans can watch every Bundesliga game on ESPN Plus.

This is easy. All Bundesliga live streams are available on BT Sport, and BT broadband customers can get BT Sport as a £10.00/month upgrade.

However, BT Broadband is not required; a monthly pass for BT Sport can be purchased for £25.00.

To watch a live stream of the Bundesliga, our friends up north can tune in to the subscription TV channel Sportsnet. No such option is available with Sportsnet Now's service, which streams all Bundesliga matches live in beautiful HD across Canada.

It's not free, however, and you'll need the SN Now+ package for this game: CA$9.99 for a 7-day trial or CA$27.99 per month for a long-term subscription.

In Australia, the Bundesliga is based at beIN Sports. The best deal is to watch beIN with a free two-week trial of Kayo Sports, which also offers Fox Sports and ESPN channels. This costs $24.99 per month and is ideal if you don't have other networks on your regular streaming service.

Of course, beIN Sports can be purchased separately for $19.99/month, with a 2-week free trial.
