Ingolstadt and Darmstadt both won promotion from 2. Bundesliga last season while Freiburg and Paderborn were relegated.  Hamburger retained their top division status by defeating Karlsruher in a two-legged playoff, scoring the equalizer in extra time of the second leg before adding the deciding goal in the 115th minute.

Is Douglas Costa a regular starter?

I hope so and I think he will get a lot of starts but with all the midfielders on the roster I am not sure he will be the choice in the biggest matches.  With Pep though who honestly knows

This is the sad truth. I love watching the rest of Bundesliga, but Bayern's stature in Germany has ruined that league.

How do you feel about La Liga?

Similar. But at least Barca and Madrid go back and forth. Top to bottom I enjoy Bundesliga more.

the most fun year to watch was when atletico was pushing madrid and barca all year and ended up winning the league

can only hope BVB comes back strong and Leverkusen and Wolfsburg and Schalke pose more of a challenge to Bayern.

I think of I were another team I would rather be up against Bayern than both Barca and Real.  I think Atletico is the only other team to beat Barca in over a decade.

Those teams, along with Gladbach were more competitive last year than the previous two.  Bayern's performance against the other top teams in Bundesliga was unimpressive.  The difference was in performance against the rest of the league.

Good news for fans of German football in America: FOX Sports has you covered. After several years of mediocre coverage on hard-to-get GolTV, the broadcast rights for the Bundesliga got snapped up by FOX for the next few seasons. The network unveiled their coverage plan on Thursday, and it pretty much kicks ass.

FOX Sports 1 will carry 58 live matches this season, plus 60 more on FOX Sports 2. Viewers who prefer to watch their games with Spanish commentary will get to choose from a whopping 105 games on FOX Deportes. FOX Soccer Plus will also have a scattering of other matches, both live and tape-delayed. The whole Bundesliga schedule will also be available online through the FOX Soccer 2 Go streaming platform.

The package is significantly better than what was rumored earlier in the week, which included few to no matches on FOX Sports 1, with all the German matches on FOX Sports 2 -- a channel which generally requires a much higher programming tier to access -- and FOX Soccer Plus, a channel few providers even carry.

The Bundesliga kicks off when Bayern Munich host Hamburg SV on Aug. 14 at 2:30 p.m. ET, and it's going to be shown on FOX Sports 2.
