Derby and Other Bundesliga Matches Scheduled – Advance Ticket Sales for Home Games Begin Next Week

A Sunday derby, the first match of the new year, two top-tier games, and a midweek showdown—the Bundesliga has scheduled Matchdays 12 through 18 right on time. There’s a new development regarding advance ticket sales for four home games.

The long-awaited local derby against FC Schalke 04 will take place on St. Nicholas Day (Sun., Dec. 6) at 3:30 p.m. in Gelsenkirchen. One week later, BVB will face Augsburg at home on Saturday, December 12, at 3:30 p.m. The Borussians will play their final competitive match of the year on December 19 in a top-of-the-table clash away in Leipzig (Saturday, 6:30 p.m.).

After the winter break, Borussia Dortmund will kick off the new year and Matchday 15 on Friday evening, January 8, 2027, with a home game against FSV Mainz 05 (8:30 p.m.). The Bundesliga will then enter a midweek schedule: BVB will face 1. FC Köln on Tuesday evening (Jan. 12) at 8:30 p.m. The home game against SC Freiburg will once again take place at the typical Bundesliga kickoff time of 3:30 p.m. (Saturday, January 16). A week later, the Borussians will once again play a top-of-the-table clash: On January 23, 2027 (Sat., 6:30 p.m.), BVB will visit Hamburger SV.

New Approach to Ticket Pre-sales

Five days, five advance sales: For the first time, BVB is bundling the ticket sales launches for five competitive matches in December and January into a single week. From November 9 through 13, advance ticket sales for a different match will begin daily at 12:00 p.m.—exclusively for BVB members. Included are the four Bundesliga home games against Augsburg, Mainz, Freiburg, and Hoffenheim at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK, as well as the DFB Cup Round of 16 match at Eintracht Frankfurt on December 2, 2026 (8:45 p.m.).
