Bayern Munich, 1. FC Köln and TSG Hoffenheim will be VfB’s first three opponents in the 2026/27 Bundesliga season. The league published the matchday calendar on Thursday 2 July 2026, and while the Cannstatt club were already aware that they would be travelling to face Bayern on Friday 28 August 2026 at 20:30 CEST to open the season, they now know their first opponents at home. Matchday 2, which runs from Friday 4 until Sunday 6 September, will see VfB host Köln at the MHP Arena, before they are off on their travels again for Matchday 3 (Friday 11 – Sunday 13 September), to face TSG Hoffenheim.
The final matchday of the 2026 calendar year, Matchday 14, will be played between Friday 18 and Sunday 20 December, and sees VfB away at SC Freiburg. After the winter break, the action will get under way again between Friday 8 and Sunday 10 January 2027, with VfB at home to FC Augsburg.
