A differential assembly including a differential housing supporting at least a first shaft having a first gearwheel, the differential housing designed to be connected to a lubricant supply, and a rolling bearing for mounting the first shaft. A cover is fixed to the differential housing and fixes the rolling bearing to the differential housing. A circumferential first lubricant channel is formed in the differential housing on a first side of the rolling bearing. A circumferential second lubricant channel is formed between the cover and the rolling bearing on a second side of the rolling bearing. An inner third lubricant channel is formed in the differential housing and extends from the second lubricant channel within a wall of the differential housing as far as an inner side of the differential housing.
