A DAB+ trial is currently on air in Luxembourg, covering 75% of the population, and regular DAB+ services are set to be rolled out in 2021.

In December 2020,  Luxembourg's Department of Media, Telecommunications and Digital Policy along with the Broadcasting Center Europe (BCE), published a research aimed at identifying the various requirements needed to deploy DAB+ in Luxembourg.

The findings of the research will now be analysed, and followed with a timeline for the rollout of DAB+ services in 2021. In September 2020, public broadcaster RTL announced plans to launch regular DAB+ services in Luxembourg in 2021.
