transmission

In German-speaking countries, the Sport1 broadcaster broadcast all the tournament's matches live. The online streaming service DAZN also broadcast all sessions live.

Due to statements criticized as sexist on the evening of December 17, 2018, Sport1 stopped working with co-host Gordon Shumway. On the morning of December 19, Sport1 announced on Twitter that it would "no longer use Shumway as an expert and co-commentator".
