The BayArena opens as usual at 13.30 CET and here are all the important organisational advice for the last Bundesliga home game in the current Bundesliga campaign.
Car parking for fans
The City of Leverkusen has ordered road closures in the residential areas around the BayArena before kick-off and these areas are only accessible for drivers with ab access permit. Anybody arriving by car should use the shuttle bus car park at Kurtekotten (Entry for navigation devices: Otto-Bayer-Straße, Cologne). Bus transfers to the BayArena are available from three hours before kick-off. Visiting supporters can only use the shuttle bus parking facility on Am Hirschfuß Straße in Cologne (Entry for navigation devices: Düsseldorfer Straße 500, Cologne).
Entrance to the BayArena
All fans should be aware that the stadium can only be entered via the gate printed on the match ticket. This should be taken into account when travelling to the Arena. In addition, the sections between the individual blocks in the upper and lower tiers will be closed during the game.
No Veterans game
The planned Bayer 04 v FC Köln Veterans game has been postponed due to organisational reasons.


The long-standing successful collaboration between Bayer 04 and the transport service provider wupsi GmbH has been expanded: From January 2026, 100 wupsi bikes with Bayer 04 branding will be available for hire throughout the city of Leverkusen. They will complement the many existing offers and services that provide key support, especially for fans travelling to and from home matches at the BayArena.
