BVB run-in confirmed: DFL sets final matchdays | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund now knows the exact schedule for the final stretch of the season. The DFL has set the dates for the last Bundesliga matchdays – including some exciting clashes for BVB.

The German Football League (DFL) has scheduled the final matchdays of the 2025/26 Bundesliga season down to the exact time, providing certainty for planning in the closing stages of the campaign. Borussia Dortmund still has four matches left – two at home and two away, spread across Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. As is tradition, the final matchday will be played entirely in parallel.

The start of this crucial phase is a home game against SC Freiburg on Sunday, April 26, at 5:30 p.m. at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK. The team from Breisgau is currently sitting safely in mid-table and is considered an awkward opponent. A week later, BVB has another Sunday fixture: on May 3 (5:30 p.m.), the team travels to Mönchengladbach for the Borussia derby. The hosts are stuck near the bottom of the table and fighting relegation, so the match is expected to be correspondingly intense.

The final home game of the season will take place on Friday, May 8, at 8:30 p.m. The opponent is Eintracht Frankfurt, who are right in the middle of the race for the European places. The first meeting between the two teams already caused a stir with a spectacular 3-3 draw.

BVB vs. Werder Bremen: Season finale on Matchday 34

To wrap things up, Borussia Dortmund will travel to Werder Bremen. The match kicks off on Saturday, May 16, at 3:30 p.m. – together with all the other fixtures on Matchday 34. Bremen is also still involved in the relegation battle and should therefore come into the game highly motivated.

From a sporting perspective, BVB heads into the final weeks in second place with a strong points tally. While the gap to leaders Bayern Munich is not yet impossible to make up, securing second place – and with it early qualification for the Champions League – appears the more realistic objective.

With the dates now confirmed, Dortmund faces a varied run-in – including two Sunday matches, a Friday night game under the floodlights, and the classic season finale on Saturday afternoon.
