Full fixture list for 2025/26 announced – Nürnberg at home on matchday 16
After the DFL announced on Friday morning (27/6) that FC Schalke 04 will kick off the 2. Bundesliga season at home against Hertha BSC on Friday, 1st August, they have now published the full fixture list for the 2025/26 season.
The Royal Blues’ first away game is against 1. FC Kaiserslautern, a week after the season opener against Hertha. The exact date and time for all fixtures aside from matchday 1 will be confirmed at a later date.
Schalke’s next three opponents are VfL Bochum (H), Dynamo Dresden (A) and Holstein Kiel (H). “Our start is going to be challenging,” said director of professional football Youri Mulder. “We are preparing ourselves day by day in the best possible way for the upcoming tasks so that we can start the new season strong. We are working with care and intensity. We have two very attractive home games in August with a Friday night clash to start against Hertha and then the visit of Bochum shortly afterwards.”
