The basketball championship on TV
MagentaSport has secured the broadcasting rights for the games of the German national team.
It is not yet clear whether games will also run on ARD and ZDF.
favourites
It's almost 30 years since the German national team won the European Championship so far.
And the fans in this country will probably have to be patient before they start cheering again.
Also this year, the DBB selection is only an outsider in the tournament - despite the home advantage.
Instead, Slovenia can again have justified hopes.
The team around NBA superstar Luka Doncic wants to defend his title from 2017.
The biggest challengers are France and Serbia.
Greece is also given opportunities.
The Spanish national team, which has won three of the last five European Championship tournaments, has lost its dominance.
Squad of the German national team
Niels Giffey (Zalgiris Kaunas), Justus Hollatz (CB Breogan), David Kramer (Basketball Löwen Braunschweig), Maodo Lo (Alba Berlin), Andreas Obst (FC Bayern Munich), Dennis Schröder (Houston Rockets), Christian Sengfelder (Brose Bamberg) , Daniel Theis (Indiana Pacers), Johannes Thiemann (Alba Berlin), Johannes Voigtmann (CSKA Moscow), Franz Wagner (Orlando Magic), Jonas Wohlfarth-Bottermann (Hamburg Towers), Nick Weiler-Babb (Bayern Munich)
