Laura Wontorra’s name has been mentioned alongside reports of a move between broadcasters.
However, no official confirmation that a new contract has been finalized and an actual program assignment has been completed can be found in the articles provided.
The fact that this was an observed keyword in the German search market on August 14, 2026, does not indicate the actual location of the event.
3-Line Summary
1. Reports emerged that Wontorra would end her DAZN work early
2. BILD reported the possibility of a move to Sky and RTL
3. The program she will host cannot yet be specified
The DAZN Contract That Ran Until 2027 and Reports of an Early End
BILD reported that sports host Laura Wontorra would end her work with DAZN before the contract expired and move to Sky and RTL that summer. According to the article, Wontorra is 37 years old and had extended her DAZN contract the previous year until 2027. If the report is accurate, this would be an adjustment during the contract term rather than a move after the normal contract expiration.
However, it is necessary to distinguish between confirmed outcomes and reported content here. BILD described this as an important decision in Wontorra’s career and reported that the new contract would last at least 3 years. These are all details conveyed by BILD through its reporting. The terms of the actual contract, the date on which her DAZN work would end, and whether the new contract had already been signed were not disclosed in the body of the article.
More importantly, Wontorra did not respond to BILD’s inquiry about the move. The fact that a transfer report has been published is not the same as the fact that the transfer has been completed. Even if BILD wrote that the separation from DAZN would proceed amicably and with mutual appreciation, it is difficult to interpret this as an official announcement by Wontorra or either broadcaster.
RTL’s Acquisition of Sky Deutschland and Its Sports Broadcasting Plans
BILD reported that the RTL Group acquired Sky Deutschland that summer. According to the article, the initial cash payment was 150 million euros, and the acquisition price could later reach up to 5억2천700만 euros. These figures are conditions presented by BILD in connection with the acquisition and do not mean that the programming of every individual sports show has been finalized.
RTL CEO Stephan Schmitter announced that free-to-air television would show more Bundesliga matches than before. The Bundesliga is Germany’s top-tier professional football league. BILD reported that the DFB-Pokal was also scheduled to air on RTL, including the 2027/28 season final. The DFB-Pokal is a cup competition organized by the German Football Association.
Wontorra’s name may have been mentioned in connection with these plans to expand sports broadcasting. However, BILD did not state conclusively that Wontorra would be assigned to a specific competition. It merely speculated that she would be used for related broadcasts based on her experience with World Cup broadcasts, national-team matches, and league programs. The term recruitment alone does not establish which channel she would work for or what role she would take.
Even with RTL Experience, the Assignment Schedule Has Not Yet Been Disclosed
According to BILD, Wontorra recently participated in MagentaTV’s World Cup broadcasts and returned to RTL for national-team matches starting in 2025. She had also worked as a reporter at RTL since the 2017/18 season and hosted Nitro’s Monday Bundesliga program. Nitro is described in the article as an RTL-affiliated channel.
Znaki FM introduces Wontorra as having worked from 2011 to 2013 in the sports editorial department at Sky Deutschland as an intern and field reporter, before later working for Sport1 and RTL. The outlet also wrote that she had participated in football broadcasts on DAZN, RTL, and MagentaTV. Based solely on the two articles provided, this report concerns the possibility of a change in broadcasting platforms within her football-broadcasting career, rather than a move into a completely new field.
That said, a career history does not by itself guarantee a future role. BILD’s article does not state whether she would appear primarily on Sky or RTL, which of the Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal, or national-team matches she would cover, or whether she would become a regular host. Wontorra’s past RTL experience is confirmed, but her future assignment schedule is not.
Therefore, the relatively clear fact in this report is that an early end to Wontorra’s DAZN work and a move to Sky and RTL were reported. RTL’s acquisition of Sky Deutschland and its plans to expand sports broadcasting were also included in the article. By contrast, the stage Wontorra will actually take and the final status of her contract cannot be stated definitively based only on the material provided.
