Regarding the Bundesliga titles in a way the old ones actually fit with the new visual identity better IMO. The new ones are very News at Ten.

Saturday teatime is the Premier League on Sky, so not really. The Football League matches are on Saturday lunchtimes. Friday nights are a regular Football League slot but presumably any German football in that slot will be on Mix or online or something.
The Bundesliga's Topspiel is 1730 UK time on a Saturday... so directly opposite Sky's Premier League fixture. (I guess that makes it less likely they'll show it in UHD, as BT did from time to time)

Celtic in the Europa League tomorrow will be on BBC Scotland:

And St Johnstone will also be on the BBC Scotland channel after Celtics's match. Coverage unsurprisingly being presented from the standard Sportscene set, is that studio used for any other programming?
And John Hartson now has been on BBC TV, ITV, Premier Sports, Sky Sports, BT Sport and S4C in the last year - quite popular!

I think that would depend heavily on whether it's an F1 weekend, and what time support race action wraps up. A lot of the European rounds are completely done by 16:30 BST on Saturday.
Sense has prevailed to an extent with three more women's The Hundred matches being shown on BBC Two, which now means only two women's matches and no men's matches are to be relegated to online only.

Appears to be just for this season but hopefully paves the way for a full return of Southern Hemisphere rugby to Sky in 2022.

That was my thought - also keeps the door open for the autumn nations internationals to return to Sky with a degree of willing and a following wind...

BT seem to be ignoring this tomorrow - and have a French game on from 4pm - perhaps they don't realize that they start tomorrow and not when the Premier League starts.
It seems that OneFootball will continue to broadcast the DFB-Pokal alongside Premier Sports, broadcasting every match available with world feed (Premier only showing three of the eight matches this weekend). Not the biggest surprise as Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and the DFB are
part owners of OneFootball. I'm not quite sure what I think on clubs owning a media and news company - a possible (inevitable?) conflict of interest at points?

As @RR mentioned in relation to BT Sport, OneFootball also seems to possibly break the 3 PM blackout today with Sandhausen v. Leipzig (14:30 K.O) advertised in the above article. This may just be for viewers in Ireland (and, unlikely, NI, Scotland and Wales) though.

interestingly the regulations say the the associations have to give 14 days' notice, but that page was updated on the 27th of July, so we might be in a bit of a grey area. From my reading of the rules I think it might be for the FFF to ensure that broadcasters don't break the FA's embargo!
It looks like BT Sport have realized (or been told) of the issue re the blackout today, and have removed the 4pm kick-off from their schedule. BT Sport 3 is now showing a repeat of an Australian Rules game instead.
Thankfully this blackout doesn't apply to the Olympic Games. Otherwise the BRA-ESP final would have vanished. Into the second half of extra time 1-1 at present. With a Pen shootout on the cards.
