The Werkself home game against Hertha Berlin will be on Sunday, 29 November with the kick-off at 15.30 CET. The team led by head coach Peter Bosz play Hapoel Beer Sheva three days earlier in the group stage in the Europa League - also at the BayArena (kick-off: 18.55 CET). And then it is one game after the next for the Blacks and Reds as that is followed immediately by the second double fixture week: On Thursday, 3 December (kick-off: 21.00 CET) there is the Europa League away game at OGC Nice; three days later, the opponents on Bundesliga matchday 10 are Schalke 04. The kick-off in Gelsenkirchen is at 18.00 CET.
There are then two home games in the third consecutive double fixture week: On Thursday, 10 December (kick-off: 18.55 CET) Slavia Prague are the opponents in the Europa League. Once again on a Sunday, TSG Hoffenheim visit the BayArena with the kick-off at 18.00 CET. The derby away to FC Köln on matchday 12 is on Wednesday, 16 December. The game kicks off at 20.30 CET.

It was another incredibly close call in the end: The second showdown in the 2026/27 VBL Club Championship saw the #B04eSports team once again narrowly miss out on a place in the top 16 of the preliminary round – and with it, a spot in the in-person knockout stage. It was a bitter blow: Marc and Sean Landwehr again fell just short, despite being level on points with their rivals. As was the case last month, their weaker record across the twelve individual matches in the six preliminary round fixtures proved decisive.

FC Köln 2-0 and registered their sixth successive win in the derby. Aleix Garcia put Bayer 04 in front after just seven minutes with a direct free kick. Leverkusen played with discipline and energy after that and didn't allow some fierce challenges to unsettle them.
