Borussia Dortmund vs Schalke live stream: how to watch the Bundesliga online for free

Top-flight football is back and the Revierderby looks to be the pick of the fixtures as the Bundesliga restarts this weekend - watch all of the action from this crucial clash by following our guide to getting a Dortmund vs Schalke live stream for free, no matter where you are in the world.

Just four points behind leaders Bayern Munich, Erling Haaland's Dortmund were in rip roaring form before the enforced break and will be desperate to maintain their title challenge with a home win against their local rivals.

There's plenty on the line for Schalke, as well, who remain in the hunt for a European spot - despite having failed to win any of their last seven league matches. But the break may have benefited Schalke to some degree, as Suat Serdar, Salif Sane and Daniel Caligiuri all recovered from injuries during the lockdown.

Dortmund come into the game with a couple of doubts in midfield. Emre Can and Alex Witsel both picked up knocks in training, but of bigger concern to the home side may be how less intimidating to the opposition the empty Signal-Iduna-Park will be without its famous Yellow Wall in attendance.

It's shaping up to be a fascinating encounter - so check out our guide below and find out how to watch a Dortmund vs Schalke live stream for free today.
