One week after the start of the season, the Bayer 04 Women's team host last season’s runners-up, VfL Wolfsburg, in their first home match at the Ulrich Haberland Stadium (28–31 August). The DFB intends to announce the exact kick-off times for the first five matchdays by the end of July.
The Hinrunde derby against FC Köln is on matchday 12 between 11 and 14 December at the UHS; the return fixture in the Rückrunde takes the Werkself to the neighbouring city on matchday 25 between 7 and 10 May 2027. The winter break – lasting around one month – will begin at the end of the Hinrunde between 18 and 21 December 2026. The Rückrunde starts between 15 and 18 January 2027. On the final matchday (23 May 2027), all seven matches will kick off at the same time as usual. The Werkself will face Bundesliga newcomers Mainz at home.
As usual, Bayer 04 will publish all the information regarding the start of ticket sales for home matches in good time via the club media channels.
Following on from last season, the Google Pixel Women’s Bundesliga will once again feature 14 teams this term. The two promoted sides, VfB Stuttgart and Mainz 05, are competing in the top flight for the first time. FC Carl Zeiss Jena and SGS Essen have been relegated.
All 182 Bundesliga matches will continue to be shown live in Germany on the paid streaming services MagentaSport and DAZN, as before.
