VfB will be back on their travels around the continent this season for their second successive European campaign. After playing in the UEFA Champions League in 2024/25, the Cannstatt club qualified for the 2025/26 UEFA Europa League as DFB Cup winners this time around. There’s great anticipation for the competition – even more so after VfB discovered their opponents in Friday’s draw in Monaco.
These are VfB’s home fixtures
The Reds will host Dutch side Feyenoord, Israeli champions Maccabi Tel Aviv, Swiss outfit Young Boys and Celta Vigo from Spain at the MHP Arena.
These are VfB’s away fixtures
Away from home, there are some equally interesting matches in store for VfB. The Cannstatt boys will travel to Italian giants Roma, Turkish side Fenerbahce, Swiss champions Basel and Go Ahead Eagles from the Netherlands.
