Thanks for finding your way to my page.
I’m Mark Lovell, a freelance sports journalist and commentator specialising in German football, with over 25 years’ experience across live broadcast, editorial, and international media.

I provide English-language live match commentary, highlights dubbing, previews, features, match reports, interviews, podcasts and German–English translation for clubs, broadcasters, leagues and digital platforms.

A fluent German speaker, I’ve lived and worked in Germany for almost three decades, giving me a deep understanding of the football culture, media landscape and audience expectations.

Live Commentary & Broadcast

I currently work as an English-language commentator for the Google Pixel Frauen-Bundesliga, and regularly provide live commentary for FC Bayern München Women, FCB Legends, and the FC Bayern World Squad.

Alongside on-site work, I also deliver remote “off-tube” commentary for leagues across Europe and have experience providing cricket commentary in German for Eurosport.

Editorial & International Media

My written and broadcast work has featured with outlets including ESPN, BBC Sport, and Deutsche Welle. I’ve made regular appearances across international TV and radio, including CNN WorldSport, Sky Sport News Deutschland, BBC Radio, TRT World, and TalkSport.

Recent projects include German-language content for the Atlanta Falcons during the NFL’s international marketing programme, as well as long-form Bundesliga analysis and previews for WhoScored.

Background & Credentials

Before entering full-time sports media, I served several years with the Royal Air Force as a Russian linguist. I also hold a Player Care Qualification from the Player Care Group, reflecting my understanding of the wider professional football environment.
